What is the average waiting time before all races are taken and a game can start? It seems there aren't many players yet and it takes looooong...

Also, is there a link to see "Open races" in all the active games? I could whet my appetite with a replacement if the game I joined doesn't begin soon.

Thnx.

You can use the news box on the home page to see when the games were posted.

If you have a recipe how to fill up games faster (and which does not involve sending out 20 million emails to random addresses), I'm open to suggestions :-)

The Join Game page has all open games with joinable positions in green, taken positions in red.

Oh, unfortunately I don't have any recipe :-(

I meant a joinable position for a running game, but I now see that I can do precisely that in the "Active games" section.

Thnx.

I think the new games will be quickly filled when some of the running games end.

But, instead of sending 20 million random spam emails, I have a recipe: this is send individual emails to old VGA Planets partners who have played with us in the past and like the game, they will be happy to play again. Even if they are playing at nu nowadays, they will enjoy a traditional game. I'll send some emails to people I have played before to let them know there are open games here.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
