Thanks for all the hard work you have put into this! Keep it up bud.



The real thanks should go to players like yourself who have been making it easy to fill these games. I know a lot of people are very particular with maps and settings but there have been a lot of players who have been willing to step outside of their comfort zone and play a lot of these games. So I thank all of you! :D

Never noticed this thread until now! But what a great idea! I'll definitely come in to check every now and then, although most settings are not appealing to me, I may do it just for the camaraderie!

Dont be afraid of mixing it up on some settings from time to time. Having to play all of these games in order to fill them has definitely made me a better CC player.

I could probably use your help though. Team games can be tedious to fill sometimes and it would be nice to have a few teams (dubs, trips, quads) that i could rely on to invite it. Since you are in a clan, maybe you could get a few of your teammates to use some of these games to practice in, or challenge yourself against others. And that goes for anybody else in a clan that keeps up with this thread. Sometimes I have a quads game that has an inactive player, essentially making it a trips team. I could use some experienced teams willing to take on that kind of challenge.

Just something to think about.

I've seen you raised the bar and have a goal of 60 games per months...nice ;)

We are approaching the game# 15M....looks like the gap is now barely 1,5M

Wow, game# 15M is probably just over a month away. The gap in game numbers has increased recently. That's due to long strings of games with consecutive game numbers that I have to fill. Its harder to gain on a number when you are closing the gap by single digits.

The new goal is a bit subjective. I added in that new section of games that just need 1-3 more players. There is no way to tell if I am responsible for those particular games but I like to think that people are joining them through this thread. Personally I have slowed down a bit on filling games manually. I'm trying not to overload myself with games and it prevents me from filling new ones.

I wish it were possible to invite people from the outside into a game, like a TO can when creating their tournament games. I could fill 100 a month easy. Or maybe some extra help. Do you know of any reliable CC members who would be interested in taking on several games? I could see-saw my game count down while they filled games for a month. It would ease the burden and speed up the process!

You know, I was sitting here looking at the join game page. I remember having a convo with Mad777, i think. When I first started this, we had 54-56 pages of games that were waiting to fill. I thought it would be cool if i could at least get it down to 50. Now I'm sitting here looking at 30 pages of unfilled games and realized how far I've gone with filling these games. As I look forward, the pantry will no longer need to be cleaned out, but just maintained. Maybe this could morph into something where we are able to guarantee as a site that we can fill your game within a certain period of time.

I admire your spirit and sense of respect towards All the other players on the site. However, there will always be someone who picks the most gawd awful conditions and settings for a map. Hmmm.... Wonder if I could fill a tournament with Gawd Awful Conditions.

I appreciate what you have done and have tried to help, until I run into GAC's that I just won't play.

Game 16533448
Clandemonium
9 Players
Triples
Escalating
Sequential
Parachute
Fog
20 Rounds

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.

This is true, but I am filling games faster than they can pile up, even the unsavory ones. People will play the games if you invite them, but players rarely search to seek these games out. Probably because they know what will fill and wont fill. Nobody wants to sit on a waiting game for several months. People are more likely to join if they see if its likely going to fill soon.

I appreciate the compliment!


Concrete, keep an eye on that game, i feel like it will fill soon.

Mad, I'm so close to getting to 16M, I have just been lazy this month. Been kinda taking a break from it since my game count was so high, its starting to level out now.
