Hi, just chiming in to say that:
1. I really liked newbie games as a newbie
2. I probably would have never played a game on this site if newbie games didn't exist (or would have left after one game due to being ignored completely).
3. It's really tough for a newbie to play a game with established players that know each other and are several levels of play above them, and it would be even more so for the first game.
All of which is to say that I think majority-newbie games would be more fun for newbies than games where they are in the minority, and I do think there's value to the newbie queue or to at least telling more experienced players to play nice when playing with newbies.
Why did newbie games end?

Well as I said, I think there's some value in having games where the mod explicitly tells veterans before the game starts to accommodate newbies(or better yet, have it be a rule for the queue. You could even call it the "newbie-accommodating queue", or "newbie queue" for short). And also to have games which require most players to have less than 5 completed games.-

Yep Aureal has yet again managed to say what I had been trying to articulate but much more coherently and articulately. Mega Nth.
