Page 1 of Picking challenges

In the list of Gremlins shown when you`re picking your challenges, would it be possible to give some indication of how active they are? I`ve just started up with a new Gremlin, and challenged all the bottom ranked Gremlins. However, I have now noticed that a lot of them are "Silver haired", "pensioner" etc - so they`re not active if they`re that old and still at the bottom of the table. So I have wasted my day`s challenges.

Even if the age of the gremlin was listed on that page - I guess I should have looked at the gremlin more carefully when the detail screen comes up, but going back and forth all the time is a bore to say the least - and you lose track of who you`ve clicked on already. Perhaps a "date of last fight" on the list screen - or at least the age description?

I`ll look into it, a lot of the problem is the lack of space though! But you are right, a gremlin at the bottom which is old, is highly unlikely to be active.

I suppose you could add average fights per day, as well as last fight??

Also this bit on the Fights pages may need a change...

You can ignore these for up to three days, after which they will expire! But you can only have five challenges waiting for you to accept at any one time

..since you can have seven waiting

Know what you mean re space, Rob. I guess you could have it under the Gremlin`s name (as the pic makes each row deep enough for two rows of text).

Oh, here`s another one - could we have the stats for our Gremlin at the top of the fights page, so it`s easy to determine whether to accept a challenge or not (I know, I`m lazy...)

It might be just easier to kill an inactive gremlin after a certain period of time. :)

Stats at the top of the fights page is a good idea, remind me if I forget. Trying not to do much development until Gandalf is fixed, since I have to keep track of changes between 3 boxes instead of 2 atm. :)

What? Kill your own gremlin? Never?

I`m dreading the day Poohbearie dies.

I was hoping at the end of his fighting life-he`ll be available for shopping trips, cinema visits etc.

...or at the very least a handbag. :)

Definitely need some way of knowing, from the Challenge screen, the age/activity of a Gremlin. I`ve got 16 challenges just sitting there not being answered and have only had 9 fights since being `born`.
Makes it quite boring at the bottom :(

Definitely need a "No. of fights in the last couple of days" column.
I keep having to check the fight history before I challenge someone.

Packing in now :-(
Pointless growing old and not fighting - you`ve got no chance of getting to the top :(
The bottom of the league is completely stagnant with middle aged `ooh let`s see what this Gremlins thing is, have a few fights and forget about it` Gremlins. Can`t be arsed checking who is and who isn`t active.
