farside, I see you still have that line you said yourself from about a year ago during a game I was modding. How amusing.

Let's just give it a cut: this thread is for people who want to /in in open games. Besides, who cares about shotty using alts and pretending to be a noob. Would anyone notice a difference?

Just come join the double day game so we can start!

Albert: you know what? I have an idea: if mod doesn't open the signups for 292 we all join DD and then we replace out on day1 to join 292 LoL

(
@mod:
I am kidding, I signed up and I will play, but I would like at least to know what 292 will be)

This is normal. farside usually releases them in batches, and waits for the current batch to filll before releasing the next batch. Otherwise you could end up with a particular game getting passed over and remaining in signups for months.

When I ran this game some time ago in the large theme que, it took me 12 days to fill signups. This game's been in signups for what is going on 13 days now if I'm counting correctly and still needs 7 (?) players to fill.

I'm not questioning the way things are run, but I'd be a little concerned about the health of a game a few weeks to a month after it ran if such a game filled out of obligation to help move the open que along. (Even more especially due to the size and commitment required for the game being somewhat higher than smaller games.)

(All that said, I'm still trying to decide if I'm interested in playing the setup, but the above and other factors have been weighing me against.)

At 9/16, I wouldn't say it's going that badly. Games have certainly taken longer to fill.

A while ago I started a chart to assess the popularity of different game types in the Open Queue, but I never finished it. Here's a snapshot though:

Double Day will take forever to fill. Wonder when it will fill.

Probably another week, but my patience has almost been exhausted.

Clearly at least 9 people do.

There are usually some people who really want to play a given set-up, and some who just want to play anything. If you open more games, then the latter group gets spread around more and more. And the first group never get to play the game they want.

But hey, I'm not fighting for this game in particular. I'm not into anything over 9-players. I just don't see this one as worse than the any others, despite a few people making a big fuss about it.
