I'm sorry, I thought this would be an obvious one. When one person puts up ten or twelve identical maps for people to join, they are just taking up space. When I see seven pages of maps to join, and four pages are put up by four or five people, I can only wonder what would happen if every player tried to imitate this process. Either join a game or put up your own map. If enough people play your map then start another. You don't need to flood the pages with your particular game of choice. This habit goes against the statistical probability of that game actually starting play. And another thing.... this is a great game. I finally found something to get me away from stick arena. Keep up the good work.

Welcome to the site and glad to see that you bought premium already.

As for your comments, some people choose to start up several games of the same type for many different reasons. Some want the opportunity to play a variety of different players and choose to start several games at a time rather than 1 at a time to save some effort in the long run. There has already been a site update to help address this that asks the game creator to confirm creation if a game with the exact same settings already exists. If you wish to play on a specific map or setting, I recommend using the Game Finder tab rather than the Join a Game tab. Game Finder is basically an advanced search screen where you choose the parameters you wish to search under.

I love it when New Recruits complain about this...
Freemiums and Premiums have the right to start whatever games they like on any map, you cannot restrict this freedom.
If ppl want to start a bunch of games on the same map over and over again (like KLOBBER), you can tell them to GFY, but you cannot tell them that they are breaking the rules...

The dice ARE random, lots and lots of analysis has been done on them both internally and by community members.

Search for previous suggestion or bug reports and check stickies before posting something "new".

Delete or replace any xxxxxxx with the appropriate information.
Delete any entires which do not apply.

Thanks for the info nightstrike. As for the rest of you, I was simply making an observation concerning statistical probabilities and wasted time. Don't get a burr under your saddles. Peace.

never mind.
since you didn't include any details in your first post, I saw this as some kind of complaint against the map foundry making too many maps :roll:

Use the game finder in the game menu and adjust the settings to your liking.

Terrible idea. If I want to play 20 New World singles games, I have to post it, wait for it to fill, than post another one, than wait... Seems like a giant waste of time, when instead, I can mash the hell out of the create game button and get it all done in seconds.

And stop bumping dead threads when you have nothing to contribute, except "please do this". Especially when the idea has no substance at all, just an empty form and a bit of caps lock in the thread title.

I can't believe you got away with saying that and now I can finally see what your perverted thoughts have been hinting at but come on, it is clearly water. The bold words were valid enough to begin with...
