progWhoah... I just posted about Volity Fluxx to Looney Labs' Fluxx mailing list, and now there's people all over the system, according to the game finder. Though I see that most tables are in Setup mode, and have been for a while... are people having trouble figuring out how to start?
Should I swing by the tables and say hi? I don't like doing that... it feels like putting implied pressure on people to play, at least if they're strangers.

daerr just noted to me that Fluxx takes 10-15 seconds to load even on a fast Mac. This is because the file is bloody huge; beyond the zillion JS function, there's three separate versions (thumbail, closeup, "alt" view) of each card in the deck getting loaded into memory before you can even see the table. I wonder if it would load faster if the cards were constructed on the fly. Probably, but it might not run any faster...
