Is there less of a player pool now? - Der Kuenstler - 08-08-2008 I remember three or four years ago it was really easy to get about 30 games going - now I'm playing less than 10 - I'm not seeking games now - just finishing what I've started - but am wondering if we've passed the "heyday" of being able to get large numbers of games quickly. Looking at the posts for games I would think it would be quite difficult to get more than a handful now. RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - keif149 - 08-08-2008 I only keep about 4-6 games going. Plus it's summer, (northern hemisphere) a lot of people on vacation etc. RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - British Tommy - 08-08-2008 You must also take into account when players upgrade to Vista and then try to install AK and BB. I suspect many will give up with the hassle of getting Vista to accept the games and move onto something else. :( RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - Copper - 08-08-2008 Nah IMO its just the time of year... I could still easily get 20+ games going even now if I wanted to. RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - Lord Bane - 08-08-2008 I agree with Bootie. Infact recently I wanted to increase the number of games I had going and had no problem doing it. Lord Bane RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - Jobu88 - 08-08-2008 I have 12 going & had no trouble getting a couple more recently. Vista was a mild headache when it came to CM. I'm a troglodyte when it comes to computers & i figured out how to make it work in a few days, so I don't think Vista will keep that many players away. Probably just summer vacation time. RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - Guderian - 08-08-2008 Hey Jobu88, You should write a how-to guide for making CM work with Vista. :) Jim RE: Is there less of a player pool now? - DasTiger - 08-08-2008 Speaking of Vista.... Can anyone advise me how to play turns without having to have them zipped? When I get a file unzipped I get thousands of lines of code that are completely unmanagable. If I get the file zipped I'm OK. I remember when I had XP I didn't have this problem. Any ideas? I should have bought a Mac.....

That's not a Vista problem. I have XP and that's the way all unzipped files come to me. As a part of the email in an unending stream of code........ Good Hunting.

I know AOL does not handle text file attachments well. Mike |
