Hah - Mike is not even the strangest thing I've been called today. 8-)

The metadata headers are all in the transcripts now. Actually, the only information we have about the game's date and time is the "X days, Y hours, Z minutes ago" text seen inside the app. There's not enough granularity there to tell the time of a game that wasn't played today, and we can't tell the exact date of a game that's more than a month old, since the text changes to "X weeks ago" at that point. It would be nice if Heroz were to include a timestamp field in the 'game_start' record returned from the WS service.

Usernames are also truncated to 24 characters now. I gather that any player with a BGAce username longer than that will want to enter just the first 24 characters into XG when creating a profile to make sure the transcripts can be imported correctly.
