instead of going around screaming your head off why don't you try looking first.

all you do is click "games" then to join one that hasn't started click on "new". to join CD's click "open". it's really pretty simple, you must be really bad with a computer not to figure it out. or you're just mad because of something else and are just looking for something to complain about. I sometimes get like that. =/

The only thing I really have a problem with is that notifications for messages and that orders are unentered don't have an obvious tab anymore. Besides that I think I can get used to this just fine.

There seems to be a problem when looking for games with CD: a lot of games in "Open" tab do not have takeover button and apparently none of the players have even left from these games. But for some reason they are still regarded as "Open".

I do not want to trash a lot of hard work, but it seems to me that even after a couple of days now I am still finding navigation tricky. I am tempted to start a slew of games to suck in newbs and bleed them dry because the learning curve here has just got to be much steeper than before.

Flashman, if I had the points, I would try the exact same thing!

It would appear that the 'open' tab just brings a number of games up with no way of joining, the same for the 'active' tab as well, although there is a splatter of games that can be joined.

BRING BACK THE 'JOINABLE' TAB!!!

Or better still add a 'CD Takeover' tab to make it that much easier.

it would be best to have two tabs, no? one for games that haven't started yet and are joinable (or is that the new games tab?) and one for CD takeover options.

Go to Games, click the Search tab. Choose filter type "Joinable" and choose Joinable from there. Down in the third section select "Active" then search. You'll find all the games with open slots, including new games. If you only want CD takeover spots, uncheck games that are in the pre-game phase.

I do think it might be better to put that tab back, but I think it may have been removed to make it easier on new players so they don't start their first game in an untenable position because they don't realize that Joinable means CD games you can join as opposed to new games you can join.

good point llama about newbies. fair enough, and searching is a good idea, too.

"How the hell do you find joinable games, and slots open because of CD?"

Well Jim, you must boldly go where no man has gone before...

lol @ the title...

some people just have no tact, even on a diplomacy website

These new grammar suck too! :P

I think there is probably an error somewhere.

Having two separate tabs for new games and games with CD positions available is a great improvement (and is something more or less everyone was asking for here in the forum). Now, I guess "open" games should not show games with no available position, so this might need adjusting.
However, I find it weird to hear this complaints, as I remember that with the previous version people were always complaining and arguing that separating new games from games with CD positions was absolutely necessary...

(and I'm not saying anything about how "diplomatic" the title of this thread was)

D.

@ thewonderllama how about you put the tab back with text in parenthesis like so (not advised for beginners) because the current way just discourages experienced players from going to the trouble of looking through the CD games. Just an idea

and why the hell are all of my reply's in quotes?

You mean in italics? Just to let you recognize that their yours more easily.

"BRING BACK THE 'JOINABLE' TAB!!!"

YES!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, bring back the Joinable Tab. I said that already and nothing has happened, im impatient dammit.
