Top 5 with most active games at one time

1. Army of nobunaga 1282
2. Highlanderattack 1250
3. Heatz 843
4. Hotdoggie 430
5. Shoop76 330


I did not miss but like 20-30 turns in about 10000 turns... I think its valid HA. what is that a 1% missed turn rate or less?


1) the problem is filling the games. That is the problem.
2) the other problem is the first day or 2 is ok... especially if you are young. Its when you have over 1000 and you literally spend 18-19 hours a day constantly taking turns... around the third or 4th day.
3) i think the record is very beatable and i wish you a ton of good will. I do think that at about 1400 games it becomes impossible for one man to do.

If getting games to fill were no issue, I think Doodle Earth Quads would be ideal for this.

They end quickly, so you're not playing forever. What would make it great is that you also have the advantage of 8 players... your turns won't come up as often.





Of course, this is completely unfeasible; there's no way you could have enough active at one time to make a difference.

To fill the games all you need is a few people going for the record simoultaneously. Nobody would be mad enough to try that though.

He had some screenshots to prove it. I'm too lazy to look through the entire thread but I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Ya, screenshots are there for aon and ha (in this thread and aon's thread). Probably heatz too, I doubt there's a shot for hotdoggie or shoop though

He must also hold the record for most game completed. He has 21904 complete games. Most I ever saw before that was around 9000. I have been a VERY active member since Feb of 2006 when the site was still brand new, and I have a little over 4000 complete games, so nearly 21000 is very remarkable

[jrh_cardinal]

go to the scoreboard, click the drop down menu next to sort order, and select games completed


mageplunka has almost 30k, he'll get those last 600 in about a day. HA is 3rd, they've both been here 2-2.5 years.
Honestly 4000 in 4.5 years isn't very many at all. Not a bad thing, just means you don't keep as many games active as these guys

not remarkable--just plain sick

To be fair its a bit different if you are playing speed games or casual games...if he is playing only casual games that is a solid number of completed games for 4 years.

[Jamie]

Most of my completed games are 8 person games

[niMic]

I joined in March 2006, and I only have 1444 completed games.Granted, I was freemium for that first period, and after a while I had quite a long break. Until sometime around 2008, I think. For someone to have as many active games as I have total completed is fairly insane.

Come to think of it... It's only 4 years ago, so you'd think I'd remember, but I think I got into ID for a little while. I might be imagining that, though.

OK. I know how to do it in theory using the API, but I've never actually done it in practice (yet).

What is the API? also you need the right balance of large player games so you have less turns per day but 1 vs 1 so that it doesnt last forever. Getting games to fill will also be hard.

still have the screenshot

dont know abou the thread.. its not that big of a deal for me to find.
I do know at the end I was cracking, people accusing me of cheating, cooks swearing at me.. people foeing me for joining all their games. lol.

I will never play ofver 150 active games at once again. its just not fun past that point.

I have a hard time having fun with over 50 games.

Yeah, you seem to be right, you're mentioned a few times in the founding thread dated Jun 28, 2006. You didn't make any posts though.

[theherkman]

My New Year's resolution is to crack 1300 active games...

[jleonnn]

The tip is to make them 8 man seq. join as many as you can. If not you'll be stuck taking turns for 15 hours each day

[Commander62890]

Casual Quads on a tiny map, like Doodle?

8 players, so your turn won't come up often. But the games will end quickly, so it's not too much of a burden on your time.

The hardest part would be getting people to fill the games.
