1) tyvm for the UI suggestion. I agree we need to work on that "highlighted player" graphic. We did it once about 4 months ago before we were actively playing with it in beta format, time to take a proper look now that 1000's are using it and quickly identifying all issues
2) yes, we have some help, but could still use a graphics / css / web design guy. Ideally they would be a master of the Photoshops or Gimps and be able to and excited about coding an HTML5 client when the time arrives.
3) Affiliate system still really close. I know, I know, I blew it on the time-promise here. We are testing it still.
