I assume this filled up already? Can't see it in the new games list.
The only person you're truly competing against, Wesley, is yourself.

I couldn't find it in either new or active games. Maybe these threads could have direct links to the games?

No, I couldn't find it. I assumed it was because it put me in the game, and I removed myself. I thought that I could no longer see it because I couldn't join it?

Hmmm. If nobody can find it, I'll try again. Must've missed something...

Hmm, looks like you left the game before it started. If you check your notices: "You've left WGL_1.1 before it started, and have been returned your bet of 5D."

But seriously is it possible to join?

Or is it too late?

That's what I thought. But I'm not aiming to play, just set the games up. And does that mean nobody else can see it?

If you create a game and then leave it before anyone else joins, I think it cancels the game...

Got it. Thanks.

Hmm, that's problematic. I don't want to be in a game simply because I create it, have to stay in it until at least one other player is in before I can leave it, and end up being there when six others join :(

Is there a way around this?

Maybe ask the moderators if they'd replace you with the first player to volunteer on the appropiate forum thread, if you get stuck in a game you meant to leave. With a pause if necessary.

Nominate a player to create the game and tell them what the parameters are.

Easy.

It might be worthwhile reaching out to the mod team to inquire about official support for the league. They may be able to help with setting up the games.

[email protected]

Or else just have interested players volunteer here to set up games that they will play in, as was already suggested. You can count me in the list of those interested.

Wanted to post an update here.

I've emailed the Mods about making the WGL (and webDip Press League, aiming to start next weekend) official "tournaments". I haven't had a reply yet, I believe, so it's on hold for now.

Not forgotten about, though!
