Hi Kat,
Just recently, I noticed that icehousgames.org was not functional anymore. I wanted to thank you (and Jesse, too) for the great job you've accomplished with migrating the whole website. I'm really happy with this, preserving 100s of games. Soon enough, I will publish ''Play More Games with the Homeworlds Set'' with 5 games of my own design, including Homeworlds Settlers (it has an entry here). I've already changed all references to the pyramidgames.wiki. In addition, I'll include one of your games, Xero-G. As it is a port of a game from Gigamic, I'm sure it's a great game. My book will have a permanent URL for a PDF download (now a temporary version), see https://tinyurl.com/HW-Play-More. You'll be happy to know that I've included some more games you like. It will also contain 5 of my own designs.

* [[Hypothermia]]
I like the updates to reflect the current name of the Looney Pyramid system, but I think we have to be careful not to scrub everything of the "Icehouse" name. There's a lot of information out there that uses "Icehouse", including new stuff from people who refuse to adopt the new name. I'm not sure how to tackle it, or I might just [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold]]. But even fairly near the top it might be appropriate to say "(originally the Icehouse system)" or something. And the history of the system should probably be right up there that explains the naming and the progression of the system. I think we should try to minimize confusion for new fans if we can. Confusion is pretty much inevitable considering how the system has evolved. I wish there was an easy answer. [[User:Jeffwolfe|Jeffwolfe]] ([[User talk:Jeffwolfe|talk]]) 03:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank You!

Hi Kat, Just recently, I noticed that icehousgames.org was not functional anymore. I wanted to thank you (and Jesse, too) for the great job you've accomplished with migrating the whole website. I'm really happy with this, preserving 100s of games. Soon enough, I will publish Play More Games with the Homeworlds Set with 5 games of my own design, including Homeworlds Settlers (it has an entry here). I've already changed all references to the pyramidgames.wiki. In addition, I'll include one of your games, Xero-G. As it is a port of a game from Gigamic, I'm sure it's a great game.

"Looney Pyramid" system

I like the updates to reflect the current name of the Looney Pyramid system, but I think we have to be careful not to scrub everything of the "Icehouse" name. There's a lot of information out there that uses "Icehouse", including new stuff from people who refuse to adopt the new name. I'm not sure how to tackle it, or I might just be bold. But even fairly near the top it might be appropriate to say "(originally the Icehouse system)" or something. And the history of the system should probably be right up there that explains the naming and the progression of the system. I think we should try to minimize confusion for new fans if we can. Confusion is pretty much inevitable considering how the system has evolved. I wish there was an easy answer. Jeffwolfe (talk) 03:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
