since we are talking about a new feedback system, I thought I would start a poll about another issue. Should we be able to have more than 50 games in waiting to play status?

It's debatable, but there should definitely be a limit somewhere.

Why would you need more than 50 waiting at a time?
I started 50 a few days ago, and most of them are still waiting for people...
If there was no limit to games, someone could easily make a bot to join hundreds of games with a stolen account.

I don't see a problem with it unless it puts undue stress on the server,personally i never have more than 10 games waiting.
For that reason i'm going to abstain from this vote

the answer is clearly no.
i really don't see why you'd need more than 50. simply open them wait till they are full and open some more.
i started 30 yesterday and today they were all full. btw they were all 6 player games not 1v1.

what makes youre opinion credible on why a player should or shouldnt have more than 50-- at least provide a valid reason.
i have no opinion on the matter because 50 is far more than i would want......but i think 50 puts a cap on the amount someone could potentially deadbeat. you know what they say about girlfriends and wives changing passwords

I don't think a cap at 50 is a bad thing. Not only does it put a cap on how many can be created at once to deadbeat (or more accurately, at least it slow them down a little), but it also must have some benefit to server strain.
Although, I am no expert in that fashion.

As DiM said, 50 is plenty, once those get started you can start 50 more.
Since I've never had more than 20 games going at once the 50 limit is
of no concern to me at all.

huh?? i already provided a valid reason, games fill up fast. start 50 and when they are full create some more.
as i said i made 30 6 player games and they filled in a day.
i really don't see why a person would need to start more than 50 games at once (except with the sole purpose of deadbeating all)
with a 50 games limit you can still get 500 active games at once. which is mroe than anybody needs or can play at a reasonable level.

I voted No...
There are already plenty of Open games out there... if you have too many then they don't fill up as quick - it's swings and roundabouts...
50 is plenty really.
Although what I would like to see - is if you have 50 open - and you try to join a game with 1 more slot (i.e. the one you want) - it allows you in... as this game isn't going to make your waiting games list.

50 is plenty.
Although..... there is a series of tournaments that play ALL the maps with 8 players.
thats about 70.
and they would have to wait til they are all in..
id say no limit, i personally rarely hit above 15, but joining lots of tournamnts as i do, id say sometimes i need that extra cushion.
no limit.
