First Game

I found a game I wanted to join, clicked "join," and got an auto-message saying that I had joined, it was waiting for players, and I'd get an e-mail when it was my turn.

When I clicked on "My Games," though, it said: "Active Games - 0," "Games waiting for players - 0," etc. Anyone know why?

Hmm... don't think so, but whatever; I guess I'll just join another game. Thanks for the replies.

It was probably a speed game. If a speed game is not filled within 15 minutes of game creation, the game is automatically dropped. This is to lessen deadbeats in speed games. Imagine if you created a 5 player speed game about 90 minutes before you had to go somewhere. Now, it hasn't filled after 90 minutes (and you forgot to drop it). BAM! It gets filled and you deadbeat your first 3 turns because you had to go/forgot about the game.
