A day or two. We still require a few players, if your game is starting after mine (which would make the probables certain) then we require just one more player to begin.

Well if it goes Sleepy, Valier, then me, with my gang-wars i require quite a bit of players so it might be wise to combine both WW games.

I see the problem as follows.

We do not have as many players wishing to play as we had last spring (or earlier, as I have only been told). So there are not enough people to make two games simultaneously.

That requires something like co-ordination. Making WW and WWJ games go one after another would do the trick, as it has done for the last games anyhow? (And then there is all that discussion, whether it's wise to have those both separated in the first place)

Still I think that having both of these threads / arenas open will give us more flexibility as some games might go on simultaneosly if there were enough players around, but when not, the one game might wait for the other to end or release enough dead-ones to jump to the other game.

No one can really play in two games at the same time, we all know that. So if only a handfuyl of people wish to play, why not arrange a possibility for everyone? The most stupid thing is to have two games about to begin, but neither being actually able to start as the one has 10 players and the second 12, all just waiting for someone else to make a move...

What I mean? I could play in both Sleepy's and Valier's game, surely. But as Sleepy's game has been announced earlier, I have put myself in that list. If those wishing to play and have only listed to the Valier-game could be assured that they can take part in Valier's too, they might sign in the Sleepy game and that could go forwards tomorrow...

Ideas?

I simply did not understand the point of your first post. . .

I agree with you to some extend, but I just don't think that that there should be any rules that puts one game a head of the other. I don't mind co-ordinating when in lack of players at all.

Ummm I don't quite get this... You mean combine the two ww threads?

Also I don't really think the two threads should be combined, I will start my game as soon as there is enough players. If players signed up for Sleepy's game and he gets enough players then his game starts, If I get enough players then my game starts. Players that sign up for two games at once ....well what do you do? You play in the one you signed up for first. If this means that my game doesn't start till after Sleepy's is over, because of lack of players then so be it. Another game is just going to start in the WW thread right after Sleepy's, so it doesn't matter either way. Having the two threads also gives people more of a chance to mod a game.
