Private public invitations
Although the title of this article might sound a little illogical, I think it describes the most recent addition to the BrainKing game site quite well. And players can have another reason to visit the favorite fellowship page.
What is it about? Since today, if you are a paying members and belong to one or more fellowships, you can create public game invitations which are displayed within the selected fellowship page, instead of the common Waiting Games one. The point of this feature is that such invitations can be accessed only by members of the same fellowships, so you can easily post public invitations to your internal community and make sure that they will be accepted just by people you know.
The fellowship pages now contain two subpages - Main page and Waiting games. Their purpose is obvious and I guess it's not necessary to write about them in details. When you define a game invitation, don't forget to select the proper fellowship from the Fellowship combo box at the Define opponent page.
By the way, somebody from this address has been trying to hack our server today and probably thinks that we don't know about it. Not to mention he's been absolutely unsuccessful but given us a good satisfaction.

New feature, new suggestions 
I'm still not sure how the system works exactly, but I don't think many people will go to the trouble of going through all their fellowships when looking to start a new game (yes, I know some will). Especially considering it takes 1 click to get to the fellowship page and another to check the Waiting games from that fellowship. So if I start a new Fellowship game then the chances of someone who belongs to a dozen fellowships will accept the invitation are slim, since that person probably won't bother to go through them every day...
My suggestions:
1) The feature would reach a broader audience if these games showed up on the public "Waiting Games" page as well but only for those that belong to the specified fellowship. Kind of like it happens now already, when we specify a filter when creating the invitation (for instance a Rook can't see invitations created for pawns only). They could be marked differently (with the fellowship name) or not, you decide, but it would be a nice place for people to check all fellowship games invitations at once.
2) Come to think about it, when creating a new game you could add a new filter option: besides friends, search for opponent, play agains friend or send an email, you could add an option "game against someone in fellowship X". The game would then be added automatically to that fellowship's waiting games list (and be visible in the public Waiting Games area to anyone from that fellowship according to my suggestion above).
Again, I'm not sure if 1) is implemented already... but seems like good ideas to me, in order to make sure the right people have easy access to the invitation.
