I wouldn't say dead... more like steadily limping.
Games have stabilized at around 100/day |

Agreed, B has a similar popularity to L, a division which is far from dead, but doesn't have the mass appeal of R. As expected |

If you lowered the number of coaches allowed for a draw and based it only on the availibility of a fair match, the number of games would increase dramatically. I am not able to play until later in the evening Pacific time, and there are too many times when there are only 4-5 coaches available. If the games are fair, why have a minimum number of coaches?
I believe we have seen a self perpetuating problem that I also take part in. If there is no draw at the top or bottom of the hour, coaches will wander off to ranked and find a game rather than waiting half an hour and hoping there will be a draw at that time. I know that is what I do. |

I tried to get a game today for 2½ hours straight, before I gave up... had the limit been 4, however, 4 of the 5 attempts I joined would have resulted in games.... |

Repeating an earlier suggestion: allow draws with 4 coaches, provided each coach submits 2+ teams.
Looks like ~4 coaches is the steady state so this might be a better fit. |

This is my second post.
1. Considering the poll; There is more players that think it could be good to lower the coach limit. Democraticly 5 should be minimum.
2. The formula they use to create the match up is quite good. I can understand there is less possibility if u have only 4-5 player, but still there is some good possibility to make at least 1 game and this game will fit in the range of the formula so you could have got this game with 10 players.(+ u can lower ts max or something to make sure we have a good matchup when we have 4-5 player)
3. The mafia thing... this is just silly. To my eyes it appear to be more simple to cheat in R or any other league only 1 opponent is involve instead of 3-4. And well is cheating a big problem on fumbbl???
4. Also, lowering the minimum as no impact when u have more than 5 players it just give more chance to have game when u have less players so it'S only benefit for every one.
5. We aren'T all form Europe sorry, there is 5-6 hours that is hard to find 6 coachs, give us at least the chance to got game. The box will say if 4 isn'T enough.
6. There is no cherry picking in box, it's all fair for everyone. But still it's like a never ending tournament when it goes bad u can'T pick a safer game. This can be a reason for some people to not join it. Include some tournament, bonus money, free skill, curing receipe, Racial Bonus or what ever that could help to make people join the box. A little reward for beiing in that kind of dangerous BB division.
8. I know... my english is bad sorry
9. Thx for creating THE Box!
10. Balls in Box |

Question for the Blackbox admin(s):
Is there a chance the limit will be dropped?
Seems like 2/3s of the activations these days leads to "Found 4/5 coaches. Not enough coaches to start."
Are we waiting for something good, or should we just give up hope? |

@stboub, westerner, Balle and others: I think this thread / petition is dead...
...if you want to pursue lowering the minimum-coach-limit (as well) it's probably more constructive
to open a new one - my suggestion is to have someone do it who's not playing 0RR, lots of DP or
something else people don't like - otherwise it's likely they'll just get all agitated about those
issues and won't even consider your proposition
@staff: please lock this thread - thx. |
