What is the regular timeline for a proving ground game. The last one I was in seems to have ended (or I was eliminated and there was no message given to me). I tried getting into a new one and it did say turn 1 when I was playing, but then that game got cancelled too? I think I was the only player in the game so far, should I just try again or is there a reason the game got cancelled?

They only get going every once in awhile.. just keep joining and sooner or later you'll get past turn one. It's dumb, but that's the way it works.

Didn't there used to be a two-turn/day PG game
and/or can't we get one for experienced players now?

I'm not sure if there was a 12 hour PG but I think there are jus two games allowed at one time, a 0-50 rank and a 50+ rank one.

Ok, but imho,
the biggest reason the member count isn't growing more quickly is because there's not enough activity to keep folks interested
and also imho, the PG game is now the biggest attraction.

It would be nice if Req had an assistant,who could spend the time,to help manage the dynamics of the game,because this game,needs more than one person,to help run it. To help correct problems and tweek the game.

I'm an administrator here, but that only allows me to do the things Req has put into the admin's abilities.

I can change any troops stats, like speed, attack, defense, etc.

I can upload maps but not the underlying terrain maps one builds maps on.

I can change passwords, delete players, change player's names and change status, like to gold or lifetime member status.

I can read recent messages from player to player.

I can't do most of the tweaks you'd really want, that takes access to the database and also the ability to program the game. I can do some kinds of programming but I wouldn't want to touch the stuff in this game, I know it is too interconnected... you see what happens when even Requiem changes things, it always has to be debugged.

I know emailing Req is not very effective but he does read the emails and sometimes acts on them, especially if they are about game ruining bugs. He isn't very quick, or even likely to employ suggestions at this point, but you can try!

Can you set up a two turn/day 50-999 PG game?

No, but I'll be glad to email Req about one.

Ok thanks Mog.

Anything yet from Req on this two-turn PG request ...
believe me, I've made the rounds on games also
and I'm not going to advertise them here;
but they all get boring because they're either text based or they're not quite detailed enough not to mention the lack of human competition with most of them.

Wol has it all except Req's tendency to cater to folks that can't play leaves us folks that can play feeling teased and so unsatisfied looking for games to satiate us with the result that I too am involved in a few other games now also that have finally succeeded to bore me silly,

In any event the PG game has my brand of fun on it, but imo we just can't get enough of it.
Even let us set them up so we can make them medieval and barb only ...
just not a fantasy character fan.

No word as of now.
