Originally, this project was started by Butters1919. At some point late last fall, Butters no longer had time for it and jmyork was handed control. Since then, he has worked hard and has made some amazing headway with it.
I don't know the exact date at which jmyork took over, but the following post, dated July 28 2015, indicates that he was already heavily involved at that point, even though he was not yet in charge. We can safely say, therefore, that he has been working in our Pantry for almost 13 months.

Since call outs are only so effective, I have found the best way to fill these games is to actually join them and inviting players to the game. I have filled close to 20+ games this way. It's a bit tedious and can take a few days depending on the game settings, but it can be done. Team games are the trickiest to fill so far.
If you'd like, I could explain my method of filling the games in greater detail. I certainly could use the help, I'm only one person....

It's about time that he got some official recognition of his hard work, and some official backing for this project. I'm very, very pleased to announce, therefore, that
jmyork82 is now an official site volunteer, a member of the Community Team (the bronze nametags). Please join me in extending congratulations to him!
This also opens the door to us being able to set aside some kind of budget for prizes and rewards such as what was discussed here:

If it were up to me, I would try to put a little reward in place to help give an incentive, but unfortunately that is out of my jurisdiction.
But, you should join one anyways out of your good nature

the Easter games have been interesting so far and should have a quick turnover on how fast the games conclude.
What kind of maps/settings do you like? I could match you up with an older game and make it fill for you!
