Link to retired characters and or games either on the suspended games page or profile page (including private games)
Currently, a player can retire from a private game (or public) and still have access to it to read the rest of the game or keep a record of their previous moves - this is a good thing! The only trouble is, there is no link to those games/characters anywhere in the current interface, so you can only get to them if you have the URL bookmarked in your browser.
I'd suggest these games should either be archived in your suspended games page, or there should be a list on your profile page (with private games/characters only being viewable to you, not publicly) so that all historical games can be easily accessed, not just the ones suspended by the narrator.
rationale - players should have easy access to all their writing on Storium, whether current, suspended or retired
- some narrators give up on a game without suspending it - the only way to then get that game off your dashboard is to retire
- some of us are using this function to allow 'spectators' on private games, and would like to be able to retire ourselves/others so that spectating players cannot influence the game and will not be counted in the available challenge points.
In Gamma, all of your suspended games (and characters) will be listed on your profile page.

I'd want links to games I've retired from to only be viewable by me. I've retired from some games because they went toxic and I don't want them publicly linked to my profile.

linked idea so that it would be possible to do this from the profile page: https://storium.uservoice.com/forums/211322-general/suggestions/6230238-list-and-link-private-games-when-you-view-your-own

apparently the thing about spectating players will be addressed at some point: see https://storium.uservoice.com/forums/211322-general/suggestions/5299321-allow-invites-and-spectators

and a linked idea here (though for different reasons, and one I'm not sure is that much of an issue, but this solution would fix it) https://storium.uservoice.com/forums/211322-general/suggestions/5833403-keep-a-count-of-retired-before-game-ends-character
