Re: Getting rid of the ghost spots

What about this as a solution for the ghost spots....

As soon as 5 places remain the galaxy stays open for registration but the message when you sign up will be:
' The 5 remaiing spots will be filled as soon as 5 people have applied for those last remaining places'
As soon as it happens those 5 people will randomly be put in the galaxy.

Then when someone leaves you'll have to wait until 5 places are open again, then you can sign up for the gal again and wait until 5 players have applied for the open spots and so on...


At least this way every fam has a chance to start with an equal amount of players!

Re: Getting rid of the ghost spots

Actually this might be a good way of getting an equal ammount of players in every fam.

You deside on howmany fams you have in a gal.
Then you can start joining. But you don't join a fam until enough players signed up for the gal to put one player a fam.

So for example:
You have 12 fams.
You sign up, then yo have to wait until 11 others sign up and you are put in the 12 fams, one player each.
And so on...

All fams have equal ammount of players, no ghost spots needed.

When round starts remaining players are of course placed randomly in a fam.
No drafts, no delete option and 2nd tries (or you could leave it, but you risk having to wait until start of round to join)

Re: Getting rid of the ghost spots

yes was going to suggest this.  when you click join family you join the theoretical family number but do not go straight into the galaxy.  instead mods wait until all spots are filled, (drafting can continue as normal as you draft to the fam number)  and once all spots in the gal are filled the galaxy begins, then everyone has a week or whatever until SOR.  no issues here...

Re: Getting rid of the ghost spots

People care its just nothing is going to change in time to matter really. Maybe in a few rounds they will come up with something to fix it. I can say I personally understand where you are coming from but the best we can hope for is a change in a few rounds down to fix this issue.

Re: Getting rid of the ghost spots

Also... Both MW and PW are full atm... What about new players or players that haven't joined a gal yet??? They can't play? Wierd strategy if you are trying to get more people to play the game if you ask me!
