This event might be fun if there were games to join other than all the gimmicky/specialist games, which seems all avilable games are right now... :roll:

We ask people not to join more than three games with the same mod, in order to make sure there's some games for everybody. It's impossible to enforce, unfortunately. All I can say is keep trying. It's like this every year. There's a limited number of mods and we play as many games as we can handle, but there's still always a shortage. Keep trying, be patient, and if you really can't find a game, wall a mod who's in your clan or whatever and ask him to set up a game specifically for you.

Yeah, I sent out a reminder this morning for mods not to clutter up the banner with fully reserved games. Hopefully, that will help.

Game 17587570 probably didn't start out reserved, though. It was probably an open game that Raz just forgot to accept his own invite in.

:lol:

I just released a bunch of Antarcticas, Sieges, Luxembourgs, Doodle Earths, Draknors, Circus Maximus, Classics, Arms Races, and Poison Romes on various settings / styles. Hopefully that helps out.

Seriously!! I play 1 Whac-A-Mod speed game yesterday...Game plays and completes without issue

then i get this:
Hello guido74,

Due to technical difficulties game 17586576, which you joined, had become corrupted beyond repair and had to be deleted. Any exchanges of points have been reversed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Regards,
The Conquer Club
Technical Difficulties??? The game was over, Completed State...nothing left to do but to store the 1s and 0s of game data

and it was there in the finished games

and somehow you get technical difficulties??

Big flaw in this tournament is the mods choose the games

That's ok if they select mostly our choices but if all they do is pick maps and settings they know and specialise in then game over

So respect to those that are variable and none to those who aren't and cash in on their own limited choices

Yeah, looks like you had a real tough time playing 26 games, including some of your favourite maps and settings and 4 games set up by your clan buddy. How hypocritical is it when Razorvich makes the announcement to not play more than 3 games with a mod, then invites his good FaD pal to 4? Shut the f*ck up and stop whining when you have no right lmao.

I've heard this a few times now but when I see games in the banner I usually see games on maps that aren't extreme specialist maps, even going as far as some mods playing a bunch of Doodle Earth.

Mods choose maps because if players created maps they wouldnt all be filled. The banner is empty quite often, the ratio mods to players is skewed in favor of players (logically so). There are mods with 100+ games created and this still happens. I can understand that you dont want to play baseball fog trench or whatever, but I feel like the general map choice is good.

Myself, I played Malta, 1982,World 2.1 and Poison Rome (all trench). Do you consider Poison rome and 1982 dubs specialist maps with these settings?

Avoid joining more than 3 games in a row against the same mod without the mod's permission
Might wanna reread that part ^

Lol, f*ck off and go delete someone else's posts without any warning or PM, or is that something you just do for me?

Regardless of mod permission or not, bergy has played many games on his preferred settings against many mods, at least two of whom from memory have played 3 or 4 games with him, and he's posting here complaining about the lack of variety and only getting games on maps chosen by mods.

Got 3 open slots, in case anyone feels like sending invites btw. Classic and/or small-ish maps, trench, preferably no spoils. :D

Haha - well not sure if I should reply to the mod who has had a few bevvies - nah can'y be bothered

Extreme - well yes actually Poison Rome and 1982 on FT are pretty hard to beat without knowing them well

Respect to all sober mods who are varying it up and playing simple maps

Agreed drunk pal - 2014 is one of my winning maps but my main one Eurasia played none and offered Arms Race and Feudals as suggestions to various mods as played those mods before on them with 50/50 odds
If you really want to whine take me on Eurasia NSP fog 5 times and I will wipe your sorry inebriated ass all over the floor

As fer Razor - pah he just loves to help me - our bromance is legendary

I still find it very hard to find/join games. I log in 3 or 4 times a day to have a look, but there is either nothing available, like earlier this morning, or the 4 new games up are immediately filled by the same player....

Got 2 games going, at this rate I'll never get to play 7 games.
