Looking for opponents [matchmaking]

[Eckerslyke]

Failed to attain a milestone there.

As weeks passed, and nobody offered to take me on as an opponent, although the numbers of readers continued to increase, I began to speculate whether I could reach 100 readers, with no offers of battle, by the New Year. Well, I have to admit failure on that score. It's Jan 1, and so far I have only reached 91!

Seriously though, what am I doing wrong here? Perhaps I have a less-popular title I am playing, Tsushima. Well, I've just purchased Midway, so perhaps that will attract some interest.

Or perhaps network battling is not a common thing? It is certainly more challenging than PBEM to set up. But we grognards have never balked at difficulties in setting up battles, surely?

So, while waiting, let's have some entertainment on the side.

I'll open a book on whether I can make it to 200 reads (with or without offers of battle) by Easter.

Any takers?
