I am looking for a doubles partner. Someone with some clan experience who knows how to communicate. There are quite a few doubles games coming up.

Surely there are 2 teams out there ready to pick up this fight.....If there is a team that needs a trips filled that has been around as long as this one, I will try to find partners and get a team together and join yours (no nukes or zombies or trench), other then that, I will try to return the favor....thanks to anyone that will help fill this game.
I jumped in with the no-name team and the game has begun. Oh well, it's only 20 points...

Originally, this project was started by Butters1919. At some point late last fall, Butters no longer had time for it and jmyork was handed control. Since then, he has worked hard and has made some amazing headway with it.
I don't know the exact date at which jmyork took over, but the following post, dated July 28 2015, indicates that he was already heavily involved at that point, even though he was not yet in charge. We can safely say, therefore, that he has been working in our Pantry for almost 13 months.

Since call outs are only so effective, I have found the best way to fill these games is to actually join them and inviting players to the game. I have filled close to 20+ games this way. It's a bit tedious and can take a few days depending on the game settings, but it can be done. Team games are the trickiest to fill so far.
If you'd like, I could explain my method of filling the games in greater detail. I certainly could use the help, I'm only one person....

It's about time that he got some official recognition of his hard work, and some official backing for this project. I'm very, very pleased to announce, therefore, that [player]jmyork82[/player] is now an official site volunteer, a member of the Community Team (the bronze nametags). Please join me in extending congratulations to him!
This also opens the door to us being able to set aside some kind of budget for prizes and rewards such as what was discussed here:

If it were up to me, I would try to put a little reward in place to help give an incentive, but unfortunately that is out of my jurisdiction.
But, you should join one anyways out of your good nature

the Easter games have been interesting so far and should have a quick turnover on how fast the games conclude.
What kind of maps/settings do you like? I could match you up with an older game and make it fill for you!

Thanks for letting me know, I will have this one deleted.
I cant seem to find these games at the moment which means somebody may have already had these deleted too.
There are actually a hand full of games in the join games list that become unjoinable. It usually seems to be when an inactive player has an open game with 3 slots or less. I try to keep an eye out for these but let me know if you find anymore.

The gap has been updated: 1,064,785 is the current game differential. At the rate we are filling games with the challenge, we should be less than a mil by the end of the month.
I'm curious about the age differential too. Are you still able to figure out how old these games are Mad?

I knocked a few months off then, I think last time you searched for me, we were at 18 months or so. That can be the next goal after we get it under a mil. We can try to get under a year

Say bye bye to the 15M games!
We are now within a million of the current game, 836,161 to be exact. That was a huge jump in the game gap. We are now in the 16M games, only 2 left in the 160's. Then we have plenty of 161's after that. We are the closest we have ever been to 29 pages of games, and that is right around the corner as well. The September challenge was a huge success in terms of filling these old games. We easily did 3-4 months worth of work in less than a month. Normally I have to fight tooth and nail, searching for players to join some of these games, but they all filled with hardly any intervention from myself. This was a great effort from the community from top to bottom. Cheers!!!
