    Good Friday Long Weekend!

    As you may have noticed I’m posting this TGIF on a Thursday. That’s because tomorrow is Good Friday and is therefore a holiday for us Kano folks. As usual you should expect a day or so’s delay in answering Support tickets or anything here on the forum, but we’ll be back Monday morning, probably full of chocolate.

    Happy Friday!

    Today I'd like to talk a bit about how our games integrate with the networks they live on, as there seems to be some confusion about this.

    Social media games are not complete, independent entities in themselves, they are created as a fun extension of a user's network profile. When players in these game interact, that information exchange is possible because of the architecture of the social media network.

    Think of the network as bridge spanning an epic ravine. The bridge itself is a huge impressive structure that allows lots of people and traffic to cross and is kind of a big deal. Well, it turns out this bridge is also a sweet place to bungee jump. That's what the game apps are, a way to use the existing structure in a new fun way and even attract more people to use the bridge.

    However, something to keep in mind that however awesome the bungee experience is, it's still completely dependent on the bridge and the people who made it. This means that all of us, users and developers alike need to stick to the rules the bridge builders have laid out to keep it safe and well-maintained.

    Ultimately we ask that everyone please respect our social media partners' Terms. They have the right to remove a user from their network if they consider that person to be a problem. We will always do what we can to make sure our players are looked after, but our options are pretty limited if your account has been closed by network admins!

    Cheers,

    Aardvark

    We're a little behind from the long weekend, but I've asked them to look at the World Bosses and see if we can't make them a little tougher.

    Update: The next World Boss has been made tougher so it should take a bit more effort to kill.
