Johnny, if you want to get up to 300 games just find a partner and join one of the many doubles games that are waiting for 2 players. They will start right away so you can join more without waiting.
I already thought of that
so I have to spend all this time trying to find a game that someone started to my liking. hope that my partners are on line to join. tell them the game numbers. wait for them to join. and than prey that nobody joins before me for the last slot? thats alot of work compared to just clicking "start your own game". I will suffer this weekend until Lack responds with my request.

yeah
fitz is only using 20 of his games. can I borrow the other 30 since he isnt using them ?
thats pretty funny, but what I meant was I could partner with you in a few if you find some fitting targets....
actually, 50 is really too few...perhaps we can kick in an extra 5 spot or 10 spot to cover the additional use...I imagine the reason he implemented it was to stop the simtoms and other terrorists that deadbeat 100 times in a row...
not the JR's..................the JR...thankfully there's only one.
I'm Spanking Monkey now....err...I mean I'm a Spanking Monkey now...that shoots milk Too much. I know.
Mods, PLEASE be good to JR , make him an exception and give him what he wants/needs, cant you see he's in love with the game.
Such devotion deserves to be rewarded (if its true what he said about missing only 2 turns)

lol, yeah
lets patrol the public games and see if we can find some games we can join. I can run back here and post the game numbers for you.
Hey JR, maybe next time instead of waiting until you down to 100 open games and trying to start 200 all at once, you could start making more games when you get down to 250?
I don't know how inconvenient that would be for you, but it solves the problems of both sides IMO.

i just tried this and it doesnt work. it must go though the game waiting section first before it is active. So I cant join games as the last player either.

Just drop one game that is still waiting for players and then you can join.

that solves nothing. I have 50 games started. I want 300. how does dropping 1 game for another let me climb to 300 ?
frood, JR will continue to ignore legitimate solutions for his problem so that he can keep whining about the unfairness of it all. You notice he also ignored my post?

You can't have more than 50 in the Awaiting Players category.
I thought we could play as many as we want. Im taking my complaint to high management on this one. I only have 100 games going and now I can only create another 50.

If you drop 1 game then find a partner to join a dubles games another has started it will start right away and then you can join another and another and so on. It probably won't get you to 300 but it can help.

what you dint know was next week I am taking a week vacation. that is why I wanted the games to play as I sit around here and do nothing. I dint start the games until now because any time before now would have been too early to play before my time off. For once stop and listen to what someone has to say instead of taking im the big bad mod approach. I wasnt ignoring anything. you just dont have all the facts before you respond.
JOHNNYROCKET24 has planned to take a 1-week vacation to play 300 games next week. Wow!
By the way, I shall be joining you in a couple of your "Waiting for Players" triples games. Since only 50 games can be created now, it's going to be a mad rush to fill those 2 spots as your team mate because usually there are tonnes of people jumping in on the opportunity to play with you but not against you.

He starts the triples games alone and random people join as his teammates.. I'm playing (or waiting) in 6 games as his teammate without any invite from him at all.
if you are into CC that much to start 300 games at once, then complain about a sudden drop then you seriously do need to re-think about the main points in life

Wow. So this rule stops people from making 100s of waiting games that they won't even be playing until people join. Bad rule. I mean it's not like the redonkulous amount of unstarted games would tax the server or anything. O! And there is a total of one person who has said he was affected by this in a detrimental way. Yea DOWN WITH THE RULE!!
So he wants 300 games....well the fact that you have such a large problem with no one joining now means that you probably couldnt have filled them by your vacation time anyway. So I guess the "But I want to make 300 games!!!" argument is a moot point. Seriously do you want 300 games cuz you will be bored or cuz you want to make a point against this rule? But I digress....
Anyway if you want to join a specific game just delete one of your 50 waiting games and join the new one. Then when it's full make the deleted game again. Net gain of 1 game.
If you really need that fix (not likely with the sheer number of your
active games) delete a waiting game start an rt then wait for it to fill. which should be quick since its an rt, then re-create deleted game. +1 game.
Or if you absolutely need that 300th game (for reasons unbeknownst to me) then just slow your active games to a crawl by missing 2 turns then taking one and repeat. Ya should build up 300 in no time that way mate.
Ok that last one was facetious but there's two viable options. Any questions?

1)I have 3 doubles players to set 10 games up with and I cant 2) I was asked to join a RT game and I cant 3) when the battle royal is set up I cant join
I am just sitting here waiting for players to join the games
Points 2 and 3 can easily be got around by simply dropping a single waiting game. You may well have a valid point here but you are also making a huge drama out of it and exagerating the consequencies.

im done arguing this point. I sent Lack a message asking for this to be lifted for me. He will make his decision and let me know.
personally I think the best solution to this, and JR isnt the only one who may want more than 50 games waiting is to pay a little extra for them...that's fair to all...for the people who theoretically use more, let them pay a little extra...id gladly kick lack another $10 to set up another 50 games or so...
it would help the active players, and increase the revenue...
personally, for the amount of time i put on here, and amount I post and play, i feel I used up my $20 worth in my first 6 months...
just an idea
