Getting Our Game On


 * Changed the way chat bubbles work; we'll be doing more experimentation with this so bear with us if our experiments go at times awry.
 * Playing games from the Game Detail page has been streamlined:
 * Click "Play!" to go right into a game (creating a new game if necessary or joining an existing party game if it's a party game)
 * Click "Multiplayer" to go into the game lobby where you can browse, create and join tables
 * The table display in the lobby has been consolidated into one list for forming and running tables
 * Various Friend improvements:
 * There's now a full page list of all of a player's friends
 * When you look at your own full friends list you can remove friends (yay!)
 * Soon you'll be able to select which six friends show up on your profile page; they will be your "Featured Friends"
 * There's now a close box in the upper right when you're in the World and in a Game
 * Clicking close in a Game will take you back to the World
 * Clicking close in the World will close the Flash client and take you to "My Whirled"
 * Chat in games has been revamped; it now always appears in a tab on the right instead of drawing over the game and strangely disappearing sometimes
 * The Game Detail page now displays "Top Rankings" and "My Rankings" lists which show the top-ranked players in the whole Whirled and among you and your friends respectively
