If you start a team game, you will be targeted.
JR, me and a few others are actively seeking you out, and will be giving you the best game we can.
The other day there was 300 doubles games waiting, and now its down to 150.
Triples are next.
I Urge all teams with this power and room for games to give a glance through the waiting players games. There were 1800 waiting team games at one point. We need to shrink it.
The added immediate competition will be great.
Ive been part of this problem myself for quite some time, and certainly will still start some games too... but from here on out, I hope that all know they will be met with some serious teams when they do start them.

I been a long time supporter of this as well. Starting games/joining team 1 and having them sit for weeks. I will continue to go through the doubles and join any game that has only 1 player needed to begin ( excluding new recruits ). Next will be triples.

Very glad to hear, and I of course know there are a lot of hunting teams out there. Im just hoping maybe this will raise some awareness, and some competition....and in an absolute best case scenario my score...but I have 1000 points I could lose without shedding a tear.. so that is not a concern

Why? Those probably the best games in which to "farm". If you are really trying to stop people from ganging up on noobs, then shouldn't you be doing it in the games that noobs are most likely to join?

*shaking in my boots*... i routinely join games like these... they are fun, and the competition is alot better than when cooks and deadbeats join my team games... good effort, but many of us already do this... we just aren't "cool enough" to start a thread warning people that we are going to do it... then again, JR is involved.. ha!!! good luck!!! enjoy it!!!-0

Always glad to see players who actually look for competition rather than prey. Except now by posting this thread, you're probably going to end up on all their foe lists.

That's because you're kind of a big deal around here, because people know you, because you own many leather-bound books and your apartment smells of rich mahogany.

very true but you should add that players only care about points around here and will do anything to preserve and gain them.

I added 42 a mix with quads and doubles...I could use some teammates...I agree with the premise of the post that there are way too many teams clogging the boards with the same game...I would be happy to see it dwindle so I can find a good game without spending an hour or so looking through all the clutter.

100 doubles games completed with only 30% won and having gained less than 30 points makes you a specialist???
If you say so...

Specialty is defined as: forte: an asset of special worth or utility... SOOOO yes I would say that in order for one to be a specialist, they must have had a fair amount of success in the particular game type...
