There's no way of verifying this is true, which I don't like. This could just be telling you random country names.

I suggest allowing users to also send a 1 sentence message. Like a thought bubble on the hand when it high fives you.

edit: lol the dislikes. people don't like differing opinions or honest feedback lol. ironic in a forum space.

It intentionally does not include any real means of communication, because that just invites negativity and trolling. I made it and I can assure you it’s real, and took me about day to implement, because all it does is resolve both IPs using an IP geolocation database.

I don't doubt that it's real, but what i am saying is that it makes me feel that way. im giving you my honest review. I've seen this practice a lot especially on mobile apps where they tell you you're playing multiplayer online, but in reality it's a bot you're playing against. And the more you play the game the more noticeable it becomes, and then once you realize it, it feels like a false experience. Then user retention goes down.

It's a good idea though.

I'm seeing the potential of what this could be or become .

This is how you can solve commentary trolling: you supply a list of words a user can use, it could be point and click, and they can click on a word and form simple sentences, that way no bad words can be used. Simple messages, you can even throw in some emojis. That would be fun.

I appreciate your work, good job on getting it done and putting something out there.
