I was wondering if maybe an FAQ on the site home page might be in order? One place where you can go for answers to questions such as:
Do people play online?
How do I start a game?
What do I need to play a game online? Where do I get that stuff? How do I install it?
What ruleset is used?
How do you roll dice?
How do you find an opponent?
I’m not saying the information isn’t on the boards but you do have to sort it out a bit. The sticky threads on this board are very helpful but maybe not as concise and effiecient as they could be. A more focused and thought out set of the conventions that should be used and followed would probably benefit everyone.
Perhaps the “Active Player” list could have a “available for game column.” If you are looking for a game you check the list and private message someone who is available and ask for a game.
You hit one of my self-imposed projects… compiling the info on online gaming into ONE concise cluster for web site posting
I have a suggestion, setting up Child boards for Classic & Revised games.
Not sure if there is enough Classic activity left for that…
We do have some new Classic players, but we have lost some also.
Let’s see how many entries we get for non-revised players and then look at child boards like the Tournaments board…
Maybe you could change the name of this board from “games” to “find online opponents” or something similar. Then make a child board called “active games” and move the games to that board. That way people will come to the “find online opponents” board to get assistance with online play, accept a challenge, make a challenge or to get tournament announcements and when the players agree on terms they can start the game in the “active games” board. It should help keep the challenges and game discussion out of the “tournament” and “active games” child boards.
What in God’s name just happened? I was just finishing a post a minute ago and POOF! all the games disappeared. Fear me!! MY posts are magical!! I am MIGHTY!!! As soon as I learn how to harness my power to make things disappear I’m heading over to the nearest health club girls locker room to make all of their clothes disappear.
Just a little house keeping to make things easier to read…
How about having another child forum to move completed games into, so that only active games are in the Games forum.
The completed games just work down the thread and disapear onto page 2 and beyond…
All of the active games will be on Page 1
hey guys, put my buddy mojo on the active players list

Has this been done? If so, where is this located?
Thanks!

Actually, no it has not. Many of hte links I have for various resources no longer work and for some I have not found replacements. Combine this with the increased time demands at work, as well the the Tournament etc, and it has just fallen through the cracks unfortunately.
Anyone up for a game?
This is a great site, where else can you look in on 10 games or more and see the best players duke it out.
Tanks! ya’ll are the greatest
