Subject: is the interrest in ponds going away?

My dailys are now starting almost a week late, it's more and more difficult to enlist 16 players. I should be talking, I kind of lost interrest myself.

rabbitoid: yes I noticed that as well ;( where i used to have 20-25 games (ponds) going at once now it is flat out getting 10-15..

...I think if you leave your numbers of entry open you might fare better...instead of 16/- or 16/16 make it say 12 or even 8....see what happens...JMO

Well, the answer seems to be definitely "yes". Unless something is done soon, the pond system is dead.

I'm suspending the creation of the daily ponds until the backlog goes down a bit. Currently there are 20 ponds that can't be started because of an insufficient number of participants, 8 of them mine. I have started ponds until May 2nd. There's really no point anymore to start new ones.

Vikings: I think another factor in pond games is the creation of stairs, I have noticed thatsince its creation, there are many other tournys that haven't started up.

rabbitoid:
I'm not bored with them yet but do need 3 days or more to play. The 1 and 2 day ponds are just to much.
I see most the ponds waiting to start are just that, 1 and 2 days.
