I'm more just sad I couldn't contribute first time around, and it was a misplaced attempt to wish it could retroactively change. - Back to the topic at hand, I understand the cloud is the data repository, but could a dinky little virtual server be set up on a local area network just for the player view business during a game session? i.e. the players could sync at the start of the session, and as long as the GM doesn't update any information, the players would just get the revealed snippets. If the GM updates something with edited or new information, that sync behaviour would terminate and there would be a "Sync Required" dialog box and the players would need to re-sync the realm and reconnect to start receiving these updates again, preventing the need for all this crazy push and poll business - it would be a simple query and sending back a packet if anything's changed.

If the GM reveals some snippets, then the Player version would have to sync to the main server in order to download the newly revealed snippets. (Whilst snippets no longer revealed would have their information deleted from the Player's local database). |

I know that feeling...
Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

But I guess unless a LWD dev comes in and can knock this one out of the park, we would never know (aside from someone messing with upload/downloads and testing it all - still doesn't actually answer the original question though.) "Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult" |
