Hallo to every Espionage players.
Not many of you know about me, because I play slowly and I have few games going on.
I came to BK some months ago coming from Its Your Turn.
I like this site much more, because there are more interesting features, such as ratings and statistics.
Unfortunately, here it is harder to find Espionage players.
Some weeks ago I posted an invitation in the waiting games and I ritired it after 20 days!
Most tournaments with long time limit have no signings for Espionage and its variants.
Can someone halp me in finding good tournaments with 5 or 7 days limit?

dAGGER: I can create any tourney you would like. i tried to create an 8 player tourney and could not fill the 8 spots. the potential tourney also died after only a few weeks. Most of the IYT players are gone i fear. It seems that only the cream of the crop stuck around. Lightning bolt is jonaron as many know. and a few others are hear on a very limited basis. I did pay for a Lifetime membership and i put the other up a prize and they are in the finals as of right now. i hope that the game grows stronger. hopefully when the world is out of the economic bubble everyone will comeback.

I remember the Tourny you created some weeks ago: there were only 5 players signed up.
How can we find more people playing Espionage and potentially joining large tourneys?
Does everyone know about this message board?
If everyone reading this board speaks about it with all opponents, I believe it would be the best advertising.

dAGGER: I think you can safely assume the majority of the players are aware tournaments exist, that they can sign up, and furthermore, that there are boards for each (group of) games.

I also think there the number of different people posting on boards is much smaller than the number of players - no doubt many player don't read (all) the boards because they just want to play, not read or post.

I think you have to face the possibility that Espionage just isn't that popular. Just over 13 thousand games have been played - counting all five variants together. That's less than a far more recent game like Knight Fight, which, without the benefits of variants, has more than 18.5 thousand finished games. And it's utterly dwarved by the number of Backgammon matches whose count stands as of this moment at 861957, 65 times as many as all the Espionage variants.
