Maybe on the fist instructions or even hompage explain (in bold text) how to play a realtime game ......I am finding that alot of them dont know how to use the forum to get to one , then are typing in chat wondering where everyone else in the game is lol.........I have been sending pm's to these players confusing them even more ( I hope not lol)...........but most that I have tried to pm havent come back to the game and deadbeat ....I think maybe just explain how to get to a realtime game to them in the begining and more will stay and play ........

I wouldnt put that under something you have to find......That is pretty important to alot of players so I would put it right out in the open .....

I don't know if that would help


When I was a noob, I read the rules about having 24 hour to take a turn etc.., but I assumed at that time that people taking all that time to make a move was not the norm. I assumed when most people signed up to play a game they would be there and play. Obviously I was wrong.

Now that I am used to it and just play many games at once it doesn't bother me, but at first It was like where the f*** is everyone.

kwolff - I respect you as a player you are a great player always have to watch myself when you are in the game BUT my respect just went up I also pm new people send them sratigies tell them about monkey script still lose some of them, but it is refreshing to know that more of us are helping them - instead of just being upset that they are new.

Thanks ......When I first started playing I was like wtf lol......I invited two of my friends and they don't play anymore , I tried explaining give it a chance.......But I'm saying more people would stay if the site explained how to get into a realtime game in the begining , or maybe instead of having the clan stuff togeather in callouts make a separate topic for realtime ........I think more people would then play realtime games and end up staying on the site ......the slow pace really turns some people off ............I just think the opening statement should say for the casual gamer or the is an option for realtime action ......thats all......when I first got on I never been into a forum before, I dont even remeber how I stumbled onto it lol ......I only joined alittle over a month ago and have enjoyed it ever since I learned the pace lol

I am a relitive newbie, and have just played games on the "join a game" screen. I have not had any luck playing in a real time game, although I have tried to find some on the Callout screen from time to time. Maybe online risk is not for everyone..... The only hope I have is to invite my friends one Sat. to play in a private game (I am a premium member now) and hope they get as addicted as I am

I hear what you are saying but people do come to this site for a reason lol , I just think its a little unclear how to get to a realtime game , in which alot of these deadbeats are probably looking for .......when I pm some , they pm me back thanking me for helping them getting to the realtime game , ..........so my theory is the more people stay , the more people would play lol making the expierience even better .........some people come on and dont even know that it is available
