Summary of suggested game page changes; (comments
welcome!)

1) Eliminate the 'welcome @mail/signout' message. This
should remain a mainpage item, it unnecesarily clutters a
gamepage.
2) Move the 'waiting for' and player drop down gameplay
menus to almost top of page. These are integral items
to gameplay and should be right under the Game name
header, not at the bottom.
3) Include the view history, turn #, phase type and
wildling track next to the game name for tracked game
info. These items change very little or are sequence of
play items.
4) Add a 'most recent history' line showing exactly that,
so players logging on can see what just happened
without calling up the entire history. Move the 'view
(complete) history' right below that.
5) Add the map graphic to the main page, to the right of
the house info, likely as a seperate frame. Adjust the
house info boxes to allow space.
6) Elimate the 'controlled areas', pieces, and orders info
from the house info. All this is visible on the map.
7) Give the Influence tracks their own 'space'. Do the
same for the Westeros cards. This allows for more
graphical representation of these important items later
as well as draw attention to them, as the westeros
cards are currently invisible at times.
8) Move the Westeros cards above the influence tracks,
as they are general game info and the influence tracks
are more house related info.
9) Remove text references to the neutral forces. These
are visible on the map.
10) I would suggest having checkboxes for email, and
one link to email, or something as an improvement over
simple email text links, such that we can group emails as
we like and not have the email info take up unnecesary
space. Perhaps use login names as well. This is not
shown in the example file attached.
11) I would like to see the Iron throne, Sword, and
Raven appear in the house info. Each item can be 'lined
out' when they are used like the house cards are now,
so that everyone knows when they are used. This is
most important in the case of the sword.
12) Where possible, adjust the text size up for
readability. For example, non-tabled items to 10 point
and game title to 14 pt. (I see this is done for the most
part but this item is left to show what I have done in my
sample file)
