[Rules] Limit New Recruit for 16 games in settings and maps

[shocked439]

This idea is amazing from start to finish. Some aspect if not all should be incorporated to future upgrades

i vote free speed for a week.. then they would have a nice insight to stay and get premium

Very valid point

[TheForgivenOne]

But yeah, i don't like this idea for Prem for a week, as it may encourage players to create a ton of multi's just to keep playing speed for free

I will not amend the suggestion to provide free premium nor free speed for one week. If anything, it will be for one or two free speed games here or there.

I will not amend the suggestion to provide free premium nor free speed for one week. If anything, it will be for one or two free speed games here or there.

Don't they already get this? You know, the Halloween Speeds, the speeds on St. paddy's, and most recently with the World Cup?

What has been discussed recently (Doc_Brown and others...) is that players would receive an individual speed game as a "reward." Lackattack has awarded these in the past for one reason or another. I don' tknow how they work, but they are different from the holiday free speeds for freemiums.

Well, they already get a taste of Speed Games, so i don't see a reason as to why give them more. They can create a lot during these events, so i don't see why an individual one here and there would be all that great.

The purpose of awarding them one speed game when they open their account is to keep them interested in the site and give them a taste on their first visit. As individuals browsing the site won't necessarily join the site on a weekend when free speed games are available, this aspect of this suggestion (giving a free speed game here and there) will hit the players at anytime on any day and hopefully keep them on the site for more than the first visit.

i don't think new players should be allowed to play speed games with anyone high than a cook.

i don't think new players should be allowed to play speed games with anyone high than a cook.

To clarify:

This suggestion is not about rank restrictions nor does it support limiting players from playing against players of a specific rank.

No rank Segregation will be happening

What does everyone think about limiting new recruits for 16 games instead of 5?

Bad idea ... Limits are bad. Free range is better

[Queen_Herpes]

Free range is better

So what do you think about the current limitation of 5 games? Shoudl it be reduced, removed, or extended?

[Doc_Brown]

Still strongly opposed. People don't leave the site because there are too many options. They may leave if they feel like they can't win, but if they can't win in the first 5, they're not likely to pick up a great deal in 16 games either. Optional restrictions that the new player can remove at any time (after the first 5 games) if and when he feels ready would be fine.

I think the current limitation works well and should be left as-is.

That seems contrary to some of your other posts.

I dont think you should extend the number of games available. As a noob, the worst thing about the site is other noobs pulling out of their game and me waiting 5 days to play one move. More games might help but I think it just lets New recruits do more damage and in the end is less effective.

I know four of us who started this all at once (word of mouth) all the other three (not me obviously) just opened a second account to get their extra four games. These are players who may stay and play long term - not drop-in, drop-out players.

The four game limit is not a real limit to long term players. It is just a good checkpoint to make beginners think twice and give them time to calm down.

[TheForgivenOne]

Well, you're 3 friends are going to be kicked off the site for breaking the #1 rule.

Actually, I'm approaching this issue from both sides. If your suggest ends up going through, I want it to be in the most palatable form possible, though I oppose extending restrictions as a whole. In an ideal world, I'd like to think that restrictions up to 5 games aren't needed, but the truth is, people sign up, join games, and then never come back. The current situation limits the damage somewhat as well as giving people a suitable breaking-in period.

I don't like he idea of New Recruits being able to join 16 game because that means more dead beating. The four game limit is sufficient to introduce the site

This is not what this suggestion is about.

New recruits can still only play 4 games at a time with a freemium membership.
