Dear Gedda-Headzers!

Today is "Patch-Day" for Gedda-Headz - partially planned, partially not planned ...

"Patch-Day? What the ... is this?" may many of you ask. Well, "Patches" are Updates, new versions, changes ...

Light ...

It actually was planned theat we upload the 1.0 update of the Java software today and let you download it.

It was also planned, to announce the new version of the iPhone and iPod touch software, which is already fighting its way through the Apple review, and that will hopefully arrive in the AppStore soon.

As a matter of fact we added a new game to both, the Java software, as well as to the new version of the iPhone software.
Promised is promised.

... and Darkness

But: It was absolutely not planned that some cheaters, tricksters, rooks - simply unfair comrades sneaked into our community, and even entered the higher ranks of our ladders by cheating.

There have been a lot of complaints about different of these cheaters. They were reported to us by fair and faithful Gedda-Headzers. Thank you!

Rules and Fairness

It was obvious that hundreads of games and game results, also including forfeited games, were played by the same two, probably duplicate, accounts and users.
Due to the fact that the Headz get wasted quickly, we decided to change - as a first countermeasure (and others will be necessary and will follow) - to adapt the systen as follows:

• A "wasted" Head will not get any points, neither for victory, nor for lost games.


• All game results for all players have been recalculated, thus the changes affect all of us.


• An updated ruleset: The GH code of behavior and engagement is already being prepared. Proper penalties and reporting will be included.


However: Get the new version of the Gedda-Headz software, install it to your phone before you go to bed today, because your Headz may become wasted, and look forward to playing some matches of the new game with your friends tomorrow!

Having said this: It's Cool to Care!

Euer Jankel!
