How many games do you currently have active?

So I'm curious, how many games of Risk are people currently actively playing? How much benefit are you reaping from your premium?

74 but I have gone 100+ before. I think my record is around 120. Most of my games though rarely have more than 1 turn a day and involve 6 to 8 people. Only as the games come toward a conclusion am I getting multiple rounds per day in.

9 casual active games + 2 or 3 speed games a week.

I paid for premium not because of any desire to play lot's and lot's of games, but rather because I support the idea of 'Risk-like' internet gaming.

I've also convinced four other people to pay premium as well. I guess I'm the kind of player Lack likes!

I still don't understand how people can have 100+ games going on and know what they're doing in all those games.

40-50, but I range 20-70(when not getting ready for vacation, et al). I have gone higher.

But, I also play mostly singles and a lot of the same maps that I can play almost "blind", so the turns go quickly.

In all honesty, the new forums has killed this site for me, i've been playing the same 3 games for more than 2 months now.

Only 7 active games at the moment with none waiting although i think i will be adding around 13 games to my waiting players section later this evening.

Although i am more of a speed game player and usually play between 3 and 15 speed games per day. :D

Finally... somebody noticed.

Basically, me and Snorri had a bet that I couldn't create threads boring enough to blend-in in GD... so I proved him wrong by posting a trio of dull threads about tedious Risk minutiae. In other words; this was one of many scam-threads, I can't believe that people took them seriously.

DM's "you all are lame" post aside - I'm currently struggling with 2 games.

The most anyone's had going at once was around 300-400 I think way back when prem first came out and people went NUTS with it.

It's interesting to see how many people are here just for the forums (i.e. have no games going on) and that we're about to lose someone because of them....

DM, glad our "sad little community" can keep you here for so long when the game couldn't ;)

Amazing that Twill has posted in a thread by Dancing Mustard and it didn't involve a lock of the thread . . .
