Hello
Please consider my last two bug reports regarding guide games and also CCs cmodifications to allow Hook 2 and 3 player games to go unscored.
There are currently 25 players waiting to play speed requests.
I had a thought that maybe Hooks cannot play speeders anymore by accident.
Also regular 24 hour requests are going into the general population since the July modifications.

That would explain the numbers, 24 hour games going to gpI and speeders unsure.
I'll game search tomorrow, but if one does, it should show up.

I think something is rotten.
Even year on year summers, I don't recall it being this low over 4 years.

There was a technical glitch with the guide games preventing them from starting. It should be fixed now.

If you don't start getting some games in the next couple days, let bigWham know.

Cheers.
I hadn't noticed as I'd been busy for the first week of the month so assumed it was because I wasn't active for them, then Jusplay4fun mentioned they hadn't had any.

I've noticed some odd/new behavior and just saw there had been some other guides also posting about similar activity -
1) I haven't received any auto joins in the last few days since returning to SoG
2) I've received a lot of game invites in my inbox, but the the messages aren't actually in my inbox when I go in there. Are they automatically deleted when they fill or are dropped now? This has happened about a dozen times - I get an email notifying me of a game invite from admin, my CC inbox shows an unread message, but there's nothing there when I enter my inbox.

Thanks!
Can submit a ticket or post elsewhere if this isn't just a new function.

A prospective Guide should have:

100 games completed
Joined at least 6 months prior
A helpful attitude.

Thanks for the interest. We'd love to have you, but you need to get some seasoning first.

Either we are going through a low count of new players or they are going offline even before their request game gets filled. Please note that requested NR speed games are automatically dropped when the player goes offline.

Is there a way to be taken off the speed guide games but left on super guide games? If not, i need to be taken off the list. I no longer am just chilling so I'll never be able to take a speed guide game for the foreseeable future.
