More tables plz? Bring the 4-players table plz.

[Cw0rk]

On November 29th, we were 17 (including God) at the same time on GCCG... I think it's time to add more tables.

Right now, we have 4 playable tables + 1 solo table. That means we need 4 more tables, just in case all those 17 players wants to play. Keep in mind that the community is growing.

It would be good, every table was full today and there was about 6 players waiting around.

"Community is growing." There it is... Something great to ear! ^^

What would be really good, is a draft system to support a couple of players to draft some lotr Now THAT would be an amazing way to go! And it could lead to a very very very worthy league! ^^

GCCG does have a draft system, but I'm not sure exactly how it works.

Best PM or email wlk for the tables. Last I checked he said the server bandwidth was limited... but you have a compelling point. 17?! Wow!

Can someone please explain the solo table to me? Is it just intended to practice how your deck might work out. You don't actually have an opponent right?

I guess the answer is obvious - I just want someone to confirm it. 

BTW -  i finally got a chance to play another game and logged onto GCCG only to find noone there

Where is the 4 player table?

1 player table serves that purpose indeed. To see how well your deck draws and such. You can practise, and see if your deck is any good. For example that the amount of twilight you throw out each turn, is worth the risk. For example, if you make pool but end up with 2 starter comps of 6 strength each, a single enquea or attea would cause some serious damage.

In that second case you were unlucky, lately there are a lot of people. Most European though I guess.

My favorite thing about the one player table is that I can spread out cards I am considering for decks and actually look at the proportions, rather than reading a sheet of paper.

And it is a great way of explaining decks to others, for example inexperienced players.

The one player table does have it's uses, granted, but I'd much rather have another 2 player table as it is happening more and more that there are no free tables (which is great if you consider it) Also, the 4 player table is probably not used as often to warrant it's regular existence. Is there a problem with having at least 6 2player tables?

haha, it took me long to change my starting fellowship in the early days - Arwen, Elven Rider and Haldir

What is the maximum number of table we can have?

[chompers]

My guess is it is related to bandwidth and speed of server ?

I think they should put the 4-players table back... I played 2 games recently on it and everyone enjoyed it. The other day some people wanted to play a 4-players game but couldn't because the table disappeared.

If it's impossible to add new tables, I think they should swap the 1-player table for a 4-players table.

Honestly, I consider the 1-player table to be less useful than the 4-player one... Multiplayer games give a unique experience. The 1-player table is only there for practice purpose... Honestly, I've never used it... I don't want to practice, I just make a deck, play it vs someone then make some corrections. It's just a game so I don't mind being destroyed in the first game I try a new deck.

[TheJord]

Yeah 4-player games are great
