Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
I've been getting my guide PM an hour after the new player joins : by then he/she is opften gone...I can see them on global chat but had shut that off.... perhaps the guide pm's could go out instantly?... and we should keep global chat open
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when....
If 2 player fog game,please allow 12 hour snap courtesy, or post what I could have seen.... Thank you

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
I wonder if the guide games should be a doubles team game or something? I know that one of the ones I guided, he was dropped into a game against a general, a colonel, and a major. For someone just learning.... well, they are going to get destroyed. Everytime. That's not very fun for a beginner. Maybe if there was a team option it could help? Not sure, just throwing it out there.

I can't spare a spot for guide games as a freemium with multiple tournaments going on right now. I heard a rumor in Global Chat that guide games don't take up game spots on freemium accounts. Is this true?
Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
This should be true, however it has not been tested to work. If you want to join a game from an invite, or even better join SuperGuides, we will find out quickly enough... if there is is any problem with it I will fix it. This is a great way for freemiums to get extra games while helping the site at the same time.ariskocrat wrote:I can't spare a spot for guide games as a freemium with multiple tournaments going on right now.

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
I just tried to join a guide game request from a global chat post and got the response "Request 2956: You are already playing 4 games - please upgrade to Premium Membership to remove this limitation." You can still keep me on the list, though. I just may not be much help until one of my tourneys finishes.

I think the freemium extra guide game slot fix is working. I had 4 games going and still got into a guide game. Thanks for figuring that out and fixing it!

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
Just so we're clear, the change only allows freemiums to join guide games if their 4 spots are filled. But, once joined, the guides games will still count toward the freemiums 4 spots.
Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
No, these games should not affect any regular aspect of joining games. Let me know if otherwise.ariskocrat wrote:Just so we're clear, the change only allows freemiums to join guide games if their 4 spots are filled. But, once joined, the guides games will still count toward the freemiums 4 spots.

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
I had 4 regular (non-guide) games going and then joined two guide games. I then finished a regular (non-guide) game, but upon trying to start another regular (non-guide) game, was given the error message that I could not because I already had four games going (3 regulars, 2 guides). I have finished a guide game since, but have to make sure to get some tournament games in, I will retry later in the week and let you know how it goes.

Re: Callout -- New Guide Program Beginning Soon! Guides Need
Again, thanks for all of your help with this. I appreciate it and don't mind being a test subject if it means I can play a few more games as a freemium. Thanks!
