How Many Games Do You Usually Keep Active?

[AndyDufresne]

I spend time concentrating on fewer games as well, and try to make sure I win, but that only happens 50% of the time.

Currently in 70which is a bit to much for me. Usually around the 50mark. If you play multiples of the same map, something simple like feudal where the first 8rounds or so are deploy, bombard, fort. Then it can be easy to have 120+ but very boring.

[Master Fenrir]

I currently have 52 active, though I prefer to keep it around 40. The problem with having so many games is that the bad streaks can really hurt you, which is happening to me now. Keeping your game count lower probably helps to minimize bad dice slides. But, yeah, 40 games is usually enough to keep me from getting bored.

[Shatners Bassoon]

more than about 16 and cc starts to feel more like work rather than play for me.

Agreed.

I keep it around 15. You will notice a lot of the higher ranked guys (I can't speak for all of them) will keep their active game count lower than most players because the time I do spend on the site, I spend concentrating on fewer games to try and make sure I win.

this is definitely true. Unless you want to play all trips and quads (aka BoganGod) or "near farm" (aka DavidHoekstra) then you can't really keep up 2500+ pts in more than 20-30 games, you just make tiny mistakes that sometimes might cost you a couple of games here and there

yes, I did just say what BoganGod does is just as bad as David, I mean, rejecting a challenge because "I have too much on my plate" then challenging right back with your settings?

[Optimus Prime]

I keep 1 active game at a time.

I Can keep 100 going and keep 3K in score and that is playing any and all types. Anyhow I hope to get it under 10 soon and keep it that way for a long time.

If I go above 50 games I usually explode...

25-30 is the right number for me

[AndyDufresne]

My active games have dropped...but I expect them to pick up this weekend...ahem...for secret-obvious reasons. Pow.

I play speed games, so basically 1 or 2.

[iamkoolerthanu]

My active games used to be around 30 consistently, and then all of the sudden they dropped down to four Now I am up to 17 with 11 waiting, because of the Whac-a-Mod thing, but I would like my number tp stay around 10 for now.. Mostly because I like to post on the forums a lot, and all those active games would just hog all my time.

When I used to never go on the forums, I had a consistent 80 active games going on though.. So it really depends on your priorities I guess

[JoshyBoy]

Recently, between 30 to 40. Ideally I'd like to be up at about 50 to 60.

[gregory7]

10- 25 games

[jleonnn]

I used to have like 80-150 but I was high major and low colonel at the time, and I lost like 100 pts when I'm offline, I find like 50-60 is best.... I just came back from my 1 month break, so my game count is still on the rise.

[Falkomagno]

50 - 70 since I won premium

[Leehar]

I've just been going through conquertell notifier and looking at the amount of games some people have
HA, mageplunka and jrh are the highest I've seen so far, with 192, 192 and 182 respectively
Edit: Looks like Pander takes the cake now, 207 games going!

*It's actually very interesting looking through all the games people have randomly...

This isn't true Bruce I've never seen you even approach the 3K score - you've been a captain most of the time I've the been on the site.
TBH I've only been here 1 year.

Congrats on the colonel tho.

[Premier2k]

25-30 games else I start losing points left right and centre.... oh wait I'm doing that anyway....darn it......

[Prankcall]

Under 20,but ideally 10 for me.I am in a few Clan based games usually and some tournament's,otherwise most the games I play are speed.

[ljex]

On average i prob have 75 however i am currently at 50 and wishing to go down because its summer.

You must be blind as shit... When I gave 2 craps about score I was way over the brig limit. I have been screwing around for a long while now. Though I gave up score just about the time you probably took any notice of people and score. Hell I am just screwing around playing whatever from doodle earth assassin to 1 vs 1 seq... to whatever and still keeping my hat at most times.

Edited to add: After looking at your join date this would make perfect sense... I gave up score just about the time you joined and medal hunted with lots of doodle assassin games.

I saw your wings. I get the same thing all the time though. Ive hit brig three times, but gets so damn bored I shed those points faster than banks passed out bailouts to their employees.

I agree... yawn more team games, and fs 8 man... yeah sure fun but try playing any 1 vs 1 ... doodle earth assassin etc... Anyhow we both know what is going on and if we wanted we could be 3K at any point. But why?

[FoxMists]

I just want to know because i recently got my Premium Membership, and i'm used to having 4 games open, now i have between 8 and 12. Just wanna know what numbers you guys are handling.

That's about how many I usually have. Increased with the Whac-a-Mod weekend but generally I keep it around that amount. But then, I have stuff to do... know what I'm sayin?

Yeah, I have a life and things

[AndyDufresne]

Down in numbers again because Whac-a-mod has nearly subsided. But maybe I'll try to keep a few more active games than before...
