It happens sometimes when there are tournaments going on, or when variants spike in popularity.

If you want to get a game going, shoot me a message - I'll join. And I could probably get enough to fill up a game.

I almost exclusively get into games through the forum. The players are often better and more reliable.

Yeah. I even posted a classic game recently and there was not enough players for it to start. So demand for classic games in low at the moment. I see tournament and chaos the likely culprits.

I say we remove the bad variants like world and american empire now that chaos fulfills the niche of a many player map. That should free up some more players for classic. Or at least classic chaos.

World is my favorite variant and it's clear that a lot feel the same way. There's a small but loyal fanbase there.

Although I don't have anything against Empire4, it's clear that Modern > Empire. But I don't think that removing variants is the right strategy here. I'm in a game of each and playing World does not discourage me from taking up three chaos games.
