It's fun having my first board go live, but it feels strange starting my own public games or jumping in and playing when I've seen other people start them. Especially on a board like Capital Crusade, where there is a learning curve, it feels unfair because I've played it so many times. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Is there a general etiquette?

I would say:
- Do whatever you want. It's war.
- Other people had the opportunity to beta test so don't worry about your advantage being unfair.
If you want to be more polite you can:
- Start your own games instead of joining others. That way people have the opportunity to decide for themselves whether to play you.
- If you join other people's games and beat them. Avoid joining that same person for a while.
- Offer private games to people that want to improve.

"I shall pass this way but once, any good I can do, or kindness I can show; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." -Stephen Grellet
I suck at all my own boards (i'm seriously under 900 on all of em), so I have no qualms jumping in to the games. And I think you shouldn't either.
I made those boards so I could play those games - and I think I should.
That being said, if you're feeling like a champ:
start a few games and invite the top 30 players on the site - no doubt many of them will join, and no doubt they will raise the level of competition.(in particular you should try to trump guys like Mad Bomber, Cona Chris or Amidon37 - the guys with monumental levels of CP. They will for sure be vying for top spot on your board)

I wouldn't worry about it. Most players expect to lose on more complicated boards the first few times.. They learn faster when the competition is tough.

Definitely not feeling like a champ. Thanks for the input.

I make boards I want to play, so I definitely start and join games on my maps. For a complicated map where experience will triumph (like Iwo Jima), I sometimes will handicap my self, by making stupid (or even no) moves for the first turn or two. I also will ask if they want advice, and give suggestions if appropriate.

Same here - especially with Waterloo and Go-Geared
