I have been fairly inactive for quite some time, and so far I have [16] unread PMs. I will see if I can address those sometime in the next day or two. In the meantime, could any willing members let me know what I've missed and what needs to be fixed? Any fun news?
I'm currently watching a game of Gemp-LotR and it looks like its bug thread is a staggering 40 pages long! So is this the future of LotR online play? Looks nice. :up: Is GCCG still worth keeping up?
Here's the list of issues to address that I have so far:
Database card pages are not loading (fixed)GCCG crashes often (certain players? certain times?) (seems stable the last couple months)- New cards need to be added to DB from scans
Make thumbnail sized images for nice wiki linkingAdd twilight and culture icons as "smiley" options for wiki.
Things I would like to do eventually, time permitting:
- Add a page to see who is up/downvoting individual posts.
Change the database pages into a wiki editable by TLHH members.- Add individual "discussion" pages from wiki linked to the forum.
- Add thumbnail images as an option for autolink popups.
- Add the ability to download an offline version of the wiki.
Add autolinking to the wiki.
Please post here (even if it's a duplicate of a PM) and I will add to it as needed so I know what to work on. Thanks!

Welcome back!
We were getting worried =)

Good to see you around dude

So GCCG is going the way of the buffalo, eh? I am quite impressed with Gemp-LotR. Programming an entire deckbuilder, rules system, etc. is no small feat! I'm wondering if anyone uses GCCG anymore and if I should take the time to troubleshoot the crashing or just leave it. ~160 games played on Gemp in the last 24h.

Well, I still play on GCCG (with 3-4 friends), though I'm not sure if it's reason enough to keep it around...

Regarding the wiki:
I've laid the groundwork and started a basic template with 1R1 (http://lotrtcgdb.com/pages/Test.php). Please look it over and help me decide what else to add so that we can standardize it for each card. Once it's done, it's pretty much set, so choose carefully!
Please post ideas and suggestions here. (http://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/index.php/topic,6445.0.html)

While promising and quite workable, gemp-lotr is still incomplete. At least until it's running at 100% GCCG aught to be maintained as an in-between.

How many games are played on GCCG now?
I definitely prefer Gemp, as playing there is way faster (maybe because I never became very familiar with GCCG interface, as my account became corrupted, crashing the server each time I logged in, and I didn't start another one). Best thing in Gemp is that it's still in development, so even if it's missing some features, chances are they may be added in the future. I would not rush with closing down GCCG, but at some point in the future it might become redundant.
A thing that would IMO be the best to happen is if, together with MarcinS, you find a way to merge Gemp with TLHH, so that there's common login/password and both sites are crosslinked whenever it's useful. This way Gemp would gain forum (which it IMO needs) while TLHH would gain a way to play which is "right here" and doesn't need any additional downloads or registering anywhere. I feel this would be the best thing possible - forum with its archive + playing environment + detailed database about the game, everything in one place, is best way to gain players (BTW: there are people playing on Gemp who have never played LotR before, so I think it is possible to attract new people to the game, which is what we need to keep it alive).

The wiki is up and I've updated the original post with my plans. Next on the docket is adding new cards from scans -- really! It's been years that I've needed to do this and I've just been slacking. :(

I prefer gemp. I am working on my group of friends here where I am stationed to try gemp. Right now they are all pretty excited about the LOTR minis game (the one by GW). They'll come around though.
