This could work, especially with the new MyStuff layout and whatnot. Do you find yourself returning to storygames you've already went through? If so why, and how often?

Long games are especially liked here.  Of course, we already have Saves for that;

I know Happiness Test is one I've played at different times;

Sounds like an endorsement to me. Here's how it'll be done:

• in the Story Viewer (aka Game Player) Pop-up thing, an option will be added "ADD TO FAVORITES" or, "REMOVE FROM FAVORITES". This will only be visisble if you are logged on.
• a web part will be added to the My Stuff page that allows you to see your Favorites, and remove them from the list
• this Favorites list will also have a Last Published date on it and will notify you with the icon when the Date Last Played is less than the Last Published date

you can tell becasue it says

"This suggestion was accepted"

which means hel get around to working on it.

ok, so you answered him 3j, but i wanted to add that there is a reason for that particular forum. to chronical what people want. alex gets to every single one of them...over time lol. it may take him awhile, but he will get to it.

I'm for this idea but I think that we should also publish data on the game description page: "Rated 548 times, favorited 50 times" or whatever.

While I rarely re-read a story, I think it's a pretty good idea. Maybe rather than favouriting an unlimited amount of stories, you can choose 5/7/10 stories that are your favourites. Limit the number to make favouriting a story more meaningful.

I don't particularly care for my implementation idea (scroll up), and it does seem the nature of "favorite-ing"  has evolved over the years. These days it's half an indication that you want to go back to it one day, or a sign of appreciation. Different people have different opinions I guess.

Here's another idea for how to do this...

I'm just picturing like a STAR or something on the storygame page, and then you click it and that's that. You unclick and it's not lit anymore, and it's not favorited. Your favorite storygames are listed on your user profile, and that's that.

The "favorited 50 times" is not a bad idea. Just trying to picture how we have like a little stat box.

That star is perfect. I think that I'd personally love to know how many times my stories were favorited.

This sounds like a good way of implementing the idea. Thanks Alex!
