A comment on the question "Pandora Remote for iPhone?" in Pandora:

Could not have said it better myself. I use pandorajam but there's no way to control it from the iphone seamlessly so I can stream it through airport express. It would be awesome if this feature found its way to pandora natively, maybe in Pandora One, in which case I'll have my credit card ready. – Jon, on August 11, 2009 13:38

@Greg, you still need to be able to see the screen in order to use rowmote as it doesn't actually stream a screen image of your desktop to your phone. Anyway this is an app I would be very happy to see if it ever came about.

Agreed, having fun minigames would definitely keep people hooked and playing the game more, especially if they benefit your character. I am interested to see, however, whether the games would all be luck based or if there would be skill based games as well such as Blackjack or Texas Hold'em, which could give some players a huge advantage over others...

I think I would like a place to input an amount in as well. Sometimes I still need to go to the buy screen as many as 4 times to get the right quantity I need. Maybe an interesting way to make this could be to have 3 or 4 spinning wheels that each hold one value so you could spin to the desired number. The max button should still be in there somewhere too though.

A comment on the problem "Body Collector Needs Revision" in aftershock:

So I still don't see why anyone would pay more for a bounty when they don't get anything in return or even know if or when the person is assassinated.

I think its cool you're making money off having a bounty, I just posted that problem because I had read other people having it. Though, even in your case you are benefiting probably too much while others are other being punished too much. I think this needs to be evened out, possibly be my suggestion of having people assassinated more easily so they will be taken off the list faster. – Jon, on March 11, 2009 17:21

Body Collector Needs Revision

Right now I think the Body Collector just doesn't offer enough incentive for people to use it frequently. My biggest problems with it are:

1. Most of the bounties I'm eligible for net me between 1 and 2 mill, which is about what I could get from 1-2 attacks on one of my cash cows...

2. Actually killing someone seems to be way to difficult for me. I'm at about 40 overall attempts and have yet to successfully collect.

3. Does a person asking for revenge even get anything in return once a person is killed? I have yet to set a bounty on anyone because, well, what's the point?

4. I've also herd tell that people on the assassination list get so heavily bombarded with attacks that it is nearly impossible to play or fight anyone even if they are healing constantly.

So basically I think this is a good idea but needs to be refined for a better experience. Some ideas for fixes could be higher bounty values, making it easier to collect on bounties, and a cash reward to the person who set the bounty once it has been collected (maybe something like 30% of the money lost in the last 24 hours from the attacker goes back to the person posting the bounty when they are assassinated?). Also, I think if people were easier to kill then problem 4 wouldn't be as much of an issue as they would be taken off the list faster (they are taken of the list after assassination right?). Post if you agree or think of other fixes.
