So, just to recap:

1. the starting neutrals bug was never worked out, thus ensuring games that would run the gamut from interesting (Cairns Metro) to the entertaining (WWII Europe, Iraq) to the completely insane (Supermax) cannot be played, leaving us with yet more of the same ole' classic/doodle/midgard/etc.
2. the BR tool doesn't allow for standard, even tho last year a couple of standard games were created by accident... so I guess that's one bug that was indeed fixed. And while standard games would certainly have their issues, it might be a nice change of pace for those of us that can't cash, drop, and make 3 attacks within the span of two seconds.
3. the BR tool wasn't expanded to allow for different game types, like teams. Imagine a Classic BR with 21 dubs teams slugging it out. That might've been fun.
4. so many games have been created that BRs are just sitting there, hours after creation, with only a handful of players, thus kinda cheapening the whole thing
5. instead of, y'know, actually sorting out some of the other outstanding issues (people joining a bunch at a time, new recruits joining as their first game, insane round length), said issues were pretty much ignored

The upshot: a completely unchanged, and arguably less interesting, experience from the last two CC anniversaries. When the only difference between these games and ones played two years ago are the maps available (and not even that significantly, as noted above), it really says something.

I'm sorry to be the turd in the punchbowl, but that's pretty disappointing, guys.

I see what you mean,i just look what game is created,and very small maps is availabile,most of games is on doodle earth.

[jpcloet]

SO what do you want then? The games that didn't fill did so because of lack of interest. 2 maps picked had decay so I'm not surprised. I've never played in a BR until today. And I'm thankful for that experience. So what are you looking for then?

[Brann2006]

doodle earth
standard
esc
unlimited/chained
sunny

thats what we want

[K-dub]

i think that the br games are very fun...u guys are just looking for something to complain about...but they are very fun and well organized

I would suggest a World 2.1 but it doesn't look as though it would fill... another Nuke one, maybe Luxembourg?

[jpcloet]

Lux has neutrals, and a BR cannot be played on it, try again.

[Royal Panda]

Damn I forgot! Some other small map that isn't doodle earth then? Malta? San Marino? I don't remember if those have neutrals or not?

[Davie.K]

iceland maybe ???

[Royal Panda]

iceland maybe ???

That'd work!

[Qwert]
