Another DoW feature I like: public player profile information includes the daily time range that the person tends to be online and playing.

That said, I'm not convinced it's accurate; it suggests I like to play between noon and 1 EDT, and I'm pretty sure I don't. Maybe the thing is a liar and just says that everyone likes to play during their respective time zones' lunch hours. But it's a good idea anyway.

Just played a quick game of Gang of Four; nobody bolted and I handily beat my three francophone opponents, so am less cranky now. (As queue observed, during the GMTish evening GoF fills up with Frenchmen, while I notice that all the Germans seem to favor Ticket to Ride. Shrug.) Maybe I'll pick up a copy of the physical game before the next game night...

(I notice that I might get grumpy but never get angry playing electronic games against humans, so long as they play fair. My favorite trash-talk verb is "school", used transitively. If one schools another, the overt meaning is that a sound thrashing took place, but there's the charitable implication that the thrashee's game was improved in the process (unless he or she was a nitwit who wasn't paying attention). So I always feel that I get something out of losing to other people.)
