its not that tough

you log on and you have like 10 games to move in. 6 hours later you have another 10. when you have to wait 24 hours for 6 people it takes awhile.

ACtually it's different for me, the reason why for a while I went down to 4.

USually I get 20 of my 30 games when I get home, then I barely have any turns which is a bit annoying.

Hmmm.... maybe I'm missing something, but I think you get everything that was promised. :)


you did miss it

play unlimited games. right now my games are limited to the 100 I have in active. Im trying to start some RT games and I cant.


Perhaps the key word is PLAY, not Create. You can Play unlimited but not Create unlimited.

Damn semantics. I'm not saying this is how it is, I am just suggesting Perhaps.

i usually stay around 50 and when i get home from work i usually have my turns in atleast half of them. but i have dial up connection which slows me down ALOT

This limit is a bit silly really?!

Only really dumb noobs pay $20 to create a shit load of games then to get banned...

Either way - Lack makes the money out of them...

Most noobs who would want to do this won't pay $20 for the priviledge?

Hasn't there only been 1 occurence of this problem... Ever?

We should be able to create as many games as we want. I'm with Johnny on this one.

I think the reason it isn't breaking the terms of the membership is that you can play as many games as you want. If Johnnyrocket's games filled up the moment he created them he could create sets of 50 over and over again for hours, and end up with thousands of games.

I'm not saying there is any problem, its just that people were saying capping the number of games that you can create breaks the terms of the membership. I was offering an idea as to why that might not be the case.
Not once in that post did I say that I had a problem with lots of games being created, so I don't know where you got the idea from.

2 I think. I joined one of the 15 million games one guy made figuring that if he was going to play my favourite map with my favourite settings (Middle Earth, esc, standard, seq, unlimited) and deadbeat, that's easy points for me!

I honestly cant see what the problem is as the minute a game is filled you can create another one. Of course if the games dont fill up there is a problem but it is the same problem that you would have if you set up 500

this is what I sent to Lack in my request. If he wants to make the rule into affect for new recuits thats fine, but I feel im being pentalized for others actions. Im coming up on 3,100 games and I only ever missed 2 turns. 1 was by 2 mins.

JR, you can drop some of those 50 waiting games you have. I mean really... if you have say 20 games set up with same other two people, what's the harm in dropping some of those for now?

I do see JR's point and agree he should be given an exception, if possible. I realize it's a bad precedent to set, but perhaps a rule could be made that after 3000 finished games (or some other ridiculous number) the restriction is lifted. Every game he has started already has at least 2 other people joined. Him dropping the game affects more than just him, and I'm sure he's trying to be polite about it.

because I want 300 active games. I only have 100. so only having 50 in game waiting is preventing me from reaching 300. players joining my games and games being completed move at the same pace.

Chalu, those people who joined are his teammates, so it was preplanned.

JR, take it up with Lack.

Wo wo wo...

Are you saying you cannot play over 50 games?

Yikes..

What is that about? It does say you can Play unlimited games, if you have a premium.

wow. I can understand the disappointment in that.

Posted: Sat May 26, 2007 5:06 pm

no, you can only have 50 awaiting players at one time. you can play as many as you like.

They are saying that one can only have 50 games that are waiting for players at a time.

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.
