So is there a time when the game usually starts, or do you just wait until there are enough users in the room, or what?

Techidiot

The later. Unless there is no scheduled event

n_palum

There are sometimes scheduled games like the pinned one that bobo has - otherwise they kind of start up themselves if enough people are around

anonymous2

Gotcha.

n_palum

I'm really surprised how much this blew up yesterday and how long games were going

anonymous2

It doesn't usually go on like that?

n_palum

13:04

As far as I've seen... it seemed like they only used to run scheduled games like once a week

Techidiot

@n_palum I was surprised to see that myself ;)

Sconibulus
