if we reach the goal of 400 filled games in 2019, we will make it to at least game 18171310. Perhaps all games before 18200000 should be listed in the thread and count towards the goal?

[hopalong]

now nearly 400 games to choose from - a little sumthin sumthin for everyone!
Check out the drop downs in the opening post.

Congrats all - 93 games filled in January!!!! That is nearly 25% of our goal for the year, all in the first month of business We haven't had that many games filled since May 2017 ... which is probably when these oldest games were first posted:
Game 17488946
Game 17488949
Game 17488950
Game 17488951
Game 17488952
Game 17488955
Game 17488956
Game 17488957
Until those git filled, we won't make any progress between the gap between the oldest waiting game and the newest waiting game. So we need some sacrificial lambs to get them started, cuz they aint getting any love whatsoever.

If none of those float yer boat, be sure to grab a game off of the first post.

Keep on keeping on!

I noticed many of the current oldest games are created by the same player. A quick search of his games found 91 waiting games, many where he is the only player, some older than 18 months (created June 2017), and many older than 6 months. I've posted on his wall requesting he drops his old games where the game is practically empty atm.

Does anyone who is active in keeping up this thread up to date reach out to repeat offenders to help keep all games fresh? Is there a general guideline you recommend when reaching out to such offenders?

I have been tempted to reach out to players who are the only ones in an old game waiting to be filled, but have not. It just seems like it is taking the easy way out to filling old, waiting games. In some instances, the only player listed in a waiting game is not even the person who originally created the game - the original creator dropped the game, or left the site, waiting for it to be filled!

My general guidelines to suggest to you when approaching people who are the only ones listed in a waiting game would be:
1) be friendly
2) suggest that they invite people to their waiting games to get them filled
3) ask why they hold on to games that are not filling
4) join their waiting games, and invite some friends!

Let me know how it works out ... and sign-up for some games in the opening post!

This is an issue I got into trouble over in the early days, when I thought we would be closing down, with Admin/BigWham help games that had gone on too long unfilled. Like if there were 5 games of St. Patricks Day or Doodle Earth set up a year ago and 5 players needed to get any one of them started, close em.

A suggestion to consider, try to fill up OR shut down all games creadted before our 18 millionth game To be precise created before
Game 18001523

3658 results on 37 pages: << < Page 35

Our 18 million one thousand and 23rd game
-------------------------------------------
by PM ing mates in the games who might want either, with your help, to fill the games and get them finally started- or close them.

It may seem a litle harsh, but it puzlles me how people could set up a game and let it go unfilled for months,over a year and then worry about it being shut down,

Having 18 Million Games filled/closed would be a consumation devoutly to be wished for. and a milestone for PR/marketing purposes.


-----------

Then to get a little harsh, you could set targets to reach on a regular basis, say once a month, look at the hundred oldest games- invite people in the game to, with your help fill or close them, Maybe with admin authority yuo can give them a month to do the deed, fill them or you cose them
---

__
The down side might be reducing the choices people have through Game Finder, say I was looking for
a Fractured America game, might be willing to go a year back to find one to join, IF I could be reasonably certain it would be filled relatively soon, within a month.

But if the game has been lingering there for over a year, with more than one slot to fill, how likely someone esle will come along in the next month, find this treat waiting and join in?

a HUGE thank you to [player]nightrain007[/player]and [player]whattho[/player] for filling the oldest waiting game on CC, and for finishing up the batch of Egypt: Nubia games we were stuck on for over a month!

Now, the next 5 Oldest Games to be Filled are:
Game 17525950
Game 17525951
Game 17544066
Game 17544068
Game 17591423

We clear these 5 games, and the gap between the oldest and the most recent game waiting to be filled will decrease by a 1,000,000! 10 daze left in February to make this happen - sign up for each of them now, and be part of history!!!

[DoomYoshi]

Those are terrible games to join. If you join Jamaica, you are just giving the points away. The other ones don't sound very fun either.

[hopalong]

Our new 5 oldest games to be filled are:
Game 17600275
Game 17618647
Game 17618648
Game 17618649

In less than a week, we were able to reduce the gap between oldest and newest waiting game by over 1,000,000!!! Thanks to all who took one for the Pantry team - looking for more volunteers to help us burn through Jamaica games + a Ziggarut game - join one of the games above to do your part!

Now, the next 5 Oldest Games to be Filled are:
Game 17525950
Game 17525951

Congrats to all for another great month of filling the pantry! 82 games filled in the shortest month of the year. That brings us almost half way to our goal of filling 400 old games in 2019!!!

This was also the first month in nearly a year where we managed to reduce the gap between oldest waiting game and newest waiting game - thanks to all who stepped up by filling a game (or a dozen!).

While you are celebrating in here, help get March off to the right foot by signing up for these, oldest waiting games in CC land:

Hopalong....do you invite me to games and then bail?

[hopalong]

Hopalong....do you invite me to games and then bail?

i do join games, send out a bunch of invites, and then drop game as a way to drive traffic to games that need to be filled, rather than solely relying on people coming to this thread to find games to sign-up for. PM me if this isn't cool by you. no one else has mentioned anything so far.

[nightrain007]

nah it's cool, i was just confused why i keep getting invited to games by you but i never actually play against you lol

[hopalong]

Overnight, we cleared all 5 of the oldest waiting games, reducing the gap between oldest waiting game and newest waiting game by 6,000! Quite the productive 24 hours, so thank you to everyone hopping into stale games to bring happiness to conquer club.

The next 5 Oldest games to be Filled will further reduce the gap by nearly 30,000! Who is up for the challenge?

We found 3 Easter maps starting to rot in the Pantry:
Game 18175138
Game 18175140
Game 18180091

Join them today so they don't wait another year to get filled! I bet they drop double the amount of eggs BW pays out for this year's batch, because of interest.

[spoiler=Original Inspiration Post by Butters1919]

Out of curiosity I searched games waiting for players. Not unsurprisingly, there are some that have been waiting for players for what is likely years! Let's fill them up and play some games with weird settings and maps. Once a set is filled, I'll post the next bunch (but feel free to join any and all).

First up, we have some AOR games in the 13 millions. Games in that number range appear to have been created in September 2013. Now, I'm not the creator, but I do have OCD and I would not be OK with having that many games waiting for so long!

There are 8 games, all assassin, all on AOR1 (6 player, manual, no fog/trench, no spoils). All have two players, the creator [player]Bruceswar[/player] whom I think is still active on the site and myself, whom has just singed up.

Once these are filled, I'll post the next batch! Expect some weird sh*t!
