#42I recall hearing somewhere that YC doesn't fund games. I can see why they may have made an exception here though.
I recall them saying explicitly that they also consider games. Isn't Draftmix a game, too?

Sure, we fund games. We don't understand them as well as other types of apps, but we'll consider them.

#44I don't get why you need an iPhone app for this. Wouldn't an iPhone-optimized site be enough? You'll also draw in more players, and it'd be easy to add a desktop frontend.
1. itunes store distribution 2. easy way to charge iphone users 3. it looks and plays way better than a iphone web app could
I haven't downloaded this, because I've got an iPod touch and my college has no wireless. Is there anything that I could do WITHOUT wireless, or would I pretty much be screwed when I go back in a few days?

Good point. If people make money by selling games, that's awesome.
But personally, I don't respect this kind of game. There are a lot more interesting games to be made for the platform.
That's probably why I posted a dig. I like clean arcade games like iilwy, stories with depth (e.g. oblivion), and things that get me excited like zombies and FPS. For me, most social games on facebook are a whole world of "who gives a fuck?". No offense.
Let me stress that they are fine businesses, just not my kind of game.

Try "Friend Code" instead of "Redeem". Btw, mine is 100448262.
Mines 100358785 I really suck at this game, I'm level 7 but I keep running out of money, and I loose most fights! Very addictive though, checking it every 5 mins now, hopefully I can break away else I'm not going to get anything done!!
My friend code: 100577628 =-)
This is fun.

No offense taken at all. Different strokes for different folks.
