RE: [dpj-games] Vanilla 1900 vs. "kitchen sink" games

Hi All,

Well here are the results of the popularity of various types of 1900 games.

I created three 1900 games.

1. Standard 1900 game with standard press
2. Modified 1900 game with standard press
3. 24 hour 1900 game with no press

Game 1 filled in 6 days
Game 2 filled in 8 days
Game 3 filled in 18 hours!

Games 1 & 2 were both not filled until advertising on the DPJudge list as
well as dpj-games. Game 3 filled after only advertising on dpj-games.

The conclusions I would suggest are:

A>There is an overwhelming demand for 24hr no-press games. (Possibly of any
variant.)

B>Standard 1900 game are more popular than modified ones, but not by as much
as you might think. Or possibly people are hungry for any game and are
playing modified games in spite of the rule changes. But if there was that
much objection to the rule changes I'd have thought that the difference in
take up would have been more significant.

C>A lot of people are not subscribing to the dpj-games list. How do we
advertise this better?

I can create more of these, if people want. Please speak up.
