Just out of curiousity, how many games do you all play at the same time? I play around 100-120 games, mostly 4-8p games on Antastic!, Wargear Warfare and Colossal Crusade. How about you?

goodness! Since i'm a university student with lots of homework, i try to keep my game count at 25 games at a time. 

currently got 21 games going. usually sit between 20-50. mostly tournaments right now tho. the open games i try to spatter around, tho i tend to shy away from antastic and colossal crusade.

Usually 10-12, including private and tournament games.  It can depend on what kinds of games - if I have a couple of Axes and Allies games  for example (where I can take a while to plan all the moves) I may trim that down a bit, but not always.  But then if I'm in games where it takes longer than a day to get back to my turn, I may bump the 10-12 up a bit.

Are you serious??   100 games???
I don't have the attention span to keep track of that many games?

I keep between 20 and 30 games running at any one point, and the board list is ALL over the place, because 1) it's easier to keep them all straight in my head and 2) I don't want to get bored with the gameplay of a single board.

I'd think that if you really want to climb the ranks on this site (either Global Ranking or Board Championship) one needs to protect one's ranking.
As such, you need to do more of your type of gameplay:  make yourself an expert on a board in private games, and then pound away until you've earned either the ranking or board points for that board.
As I've conceded that I just don't have the skill to end up in the top 100 of players on this site, I don't try to protect my ranking like many here do.
Therefore, I have little fear of joining a public game on a board I've never played...and generally getting my a** handed to me.
It's not great for any ratings/rankings, but it means that I'm almost always playing 20-30 games, each on a different board, making the gameplay different every day.

I'm normally at about 20 - 30 games as well.  Any more than that and it felt like work to keep up with all of them...which took the enjoyment out of them.

Average # of Live games would be a fun stat.

I used to be a 25 or so game person.... but then I started working in minecraft and now I try to keep it below 5 and still have gotten skipped on 2 day games. I'm sure I will cycle back though, I miss playing as much as I used to.

+1

I have currently 43 games running and it's too much...

Usually I'm between 20 and 30 as well.

I play 15 - 25, usually no more than 2 on any given map.

I try hard not to have more than 20 games going at once.  I find that my win % goes down if I have too many.  10-15 is just about right.

I dont think its that bad. With 100-120 games i check once or twice a day. All i need is about 1 hour to take my turns.

I carried 80 or so games for most of my first year on the site.  It was ok until I missed a day and had a huge number to take - and going on vacation was killer.  I've since slowed down to between 5 and 25 depending on RL.  

I don't get how people can have multiple games going on the same map.   Too confusing for me.

42 is the answer.

Norlingk why are you changing the topic to how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

A rare post from one of the best players on the site.  We're all expecting brilliance ..and of course we are not disappointed.

Ah, so that's what the question is.

I usually keep it around 60-80 games, but now that ive graduated from mostly 2p games, i definitely need to cut them down.

You can get to the center of a tootsie pop in 42 licks?

Only if the 42nd lick makes a crunching sound.
