Even if you surrender, you'll have to wait untill the game finishes.

Oh, it's per day? Not bad. I didn't realize that.

Actually, it's "5 Games at a Time". CNC worded it incorrectly.

But it still isn't too bad, what with lackattack kicking out all those darn deadbeats, now.

yeah, but still, i mean 5 max? i have 3 games that are going, but slowly, and i know i am able to handle more, so i can waste even more of my time here. should there be a system that after so many completed games it lets you have more games running at once? and even though some of those games are going slow, i still want to keep them, not drop them.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to play more than 5 at once myself, but I have a feeling it's more of a bandwidth issue than anything else. Maybe if we flooded the site with annoying pop-ups we could play as many as we wanted at once, eh? :twisted:

not as many as we wanted, because then some people will join every game they see, and then you have one person, though he/she may be on here a lot, just not enough to concentrate on all the games s/he has going at once.

It seems like not being able to concentrate on as many things at once as you need to be is more of a personal problem than anything else... and those people would be easy pickins for those of us who CAN play that many games at once.

IMO, however, I don't think that playing 20 games at once makes sense unless at least a few of those are timed.

Haha, the game limit was at 5 at the beginning of this place.

i was reading it thinking that they had changed the set up and now people could play 5 games with out going premium. Freaked me out! I need a CC history lesson i suppose.

CC history trivia-the game limit has been as high as ten and as low as two... I think.

Back in the day there were not enough players to guarantee open games on the join screen. I wanted new signups to be able to find a game to join, so I would start 6 person games myself when necessary. Of course I soon filled up my quota so I increased it temporarily to 10 (premium didn't exist)

Then I got smarter and started games, waited until people joined, and dropped out! Eventually I programmed the join screen to automatically create one empty game if there aren't any.

how wierd. today we have 5 pages of open games. This site keeps expanding and growing in good ways. Do you have a IPO date set, or our you going to remain privately owned?

When you sell stock, contact me! I am in!

This old-thread-bumping business is actually quite interesting, sometimes. Like this one. Amazing to think Lackattack actually had to make the site seem busier than it actually was. Bloody Nora.
