I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

Could we have an update about the games that were announced at one time?
It was from this admin announcement: https://similarworlds.com/100-Admin-Announcements/570571-Seeking-your-Feedback-Similar-Worlds-Games
There was one mention of it in a later admin announcement, but after that I've never heard anything from it again. Would you be so kind to let us know whether this is still a plan for the future of whether it has been completely dropped? 🥺

Also, my friend @Dewmsy-chan would like a rigged version of chess in her favour. 🤔

But more seriously I would really appreciate an update, please. 😃


Edit: There are updates 🥳🥳

I think they both have their hands full with this site games wise:

https://iorbix.com/about-us

@DeWayfarer That explains a lot already.
It kinda looks like a new EP/SW.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified They even have their own APP! Not just push notifications!!! ☹️
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer And they use the same stuff for both sites.
I think they prefer that site. 😅
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified both sites are slow! They both use the same IP address. Not good! 😒
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer That probably decreases the costs. 😅
You can even advertise the site by copy pasting html-code for a banner. 👀
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified all site analysis tools seem to believe that both sites are bad need of optimization. Both html/css and images.

I wouldn't want to be playing a game without such optimization. It would be painfully slow. Especially since both are on the same IP address.
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer Optimizing would decrease a lot of server costs.
I haven't tried that site, so I wouldn't know how fast it is.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified nor have I tried it. I have known about for a year now and know a little of its history. It's much older than this site for one.
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer At least that indicates a bit more interest from them in this site than I thought. I expected that site to be the new one.

@Classified nope...[quote]...One month after iOrbix was released (17 May 2010),...[/quote]

@DeWayfarer Ah, wonder which site is doing better then. 🤔
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified this site slightly from site analysis sites.
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer We're in the lead. That's good. 😌
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified I suspect it's because of the audience. This site is more North American audience, the other international audience. Note all the languages available. No language selections here.
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer But why would North-Americal be bigger than international?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified Internet connections!!! Any site is better of gearing their site because of that! Go anywhere in the world and there's just no internet connections. Here in North America even the most remote places have an Internet connection! I know this because for years I was in a very remote location. No cellphone but sure did have internet!
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer I understand that part, but I meant if a site is international, then you include the North-American market, right? 🤔
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified not if the audience is international. For a short bit this site had a whole bunch of people posting in foreign languages. Still does if it's mixed language. Yet I suspect this site filters most of that out.

Anyway when a foreign language is shown most of the English speaking people start to complain of not being able to understand what is said. So the site filters it out.

Now think what happens when a post gets filtered out! Nobody responds! So those that speak a foreign language just either don't post or quit the site. Vicious cycle!

English speaking people just don't understand what they are doing when they complain of not understanding. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The reverse is true as well. English speaking people rarely go to other foreign language sites. Why? Because they don't understand the language nor want to translate.
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer Ah so they sabotage the international market?
That does make sense. It's a bit sad and I suppose if it is adressed at the front site of the page, less people will join. 🤔
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified Yep! You won't see it on FB or other such sites. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer FB is more about friends you know irl and maybe celebrities, right? So it shouldn't have the same issue.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified Oh no! I got kicked off FB twice for political group opinions. 🤣

If anyone doesn't like your opinion and you use a fictitious username you get reported as a fake profile. Then you are asked for real ID. I refuse to!
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer And righteously so. FB just makes money with your personal records.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Classified problem there is they don't check or ask about the people who reported you. They are just as fake. FB doesn't check until you get reported! There's probably a third of the site with unused profiles just because of all the fakes on FB.
Classified · M
@DeWayfarer Hehe, haven't investigated in FB. Didn't trust it from the beginning.
