Sign ups for ATRL are rarely open since last year because of the server problems, maybe when the site is upgraded (soon) and the sign ups are open again we'll get more new players in the Games section. All these new players only care about their dumb "reality show" tournaments and never support other people's threads. It's very discouraging

PS Sorry Nick, for going off-topic. Maybe we should take this discussion to someone's blog or post a thread here.

but +1, IKR, so true

But would ATRL still be popular and known by then? who knows how long the upgrade would take?

Lol I don't mind any off-topic discussion, if someone wants to start another thread they can but it's not like the mods would ever come in here anyways.

And I think the whole trend of "personal games" is dying, trial and error shows that MC doesn't make this go much faster. Mr.Link yours seems to be the only successful one here and that's probably because 1) you're well known by everyone in this section and 2) you're actually able to update with consistency.

I was actually thinking of letting this game die for a while because my finals are coming up. Hopefully when they're over in mid-June things will be going more smoothly in this Games section.

That is wrong, summer, winter, and any other holiday are when the Games section die most because everyone if off to their own vacation, nobody cares about ATRL.

You could look at it that way but also during non-vacation times is when people are busy with school. Besides last summer is when I started my game and I was able to get a Survivor month done in roughly one month's time so I think if the server issues do manage to get fixed and more members could join this game would at least not flop quite as badly.

I always take my atrl break during spring and fall. LOL

Really though, ATRL has changed over time, except the Games Section which I like about it. And the YTT, but I need to get back on that.

[SIMon1120]

Idk about your games, but my games flop most in these vacation seasons: winter and summer, most recently is now

[KT&T]

I don't understand why you say they're flopping. To me ATRL Games Section doesn't change much at any time of the year. I do tournaments so I don't know if there is any effect on it, since most tournaments are short-terms.

Heart of the cards isn't based off reality tv show so it is safe from your Blue-Eyes Leona Lewis' bleeding heart attack.

I just got served by Simon yesterday .. guilty as charged but I'm not a new member.

Yes it's very discouraging. And I will support anyone's MC and Survivor, just spam me on my wall. Don't PM cuz I need that storage space!!!

[Kavish]

The Games Section is being taken over by all those Tournaments I remember when the first page of the Games Section was filled with active MCs and Survivors .. Now it's only half the page

I'll keep voting in all your MCs and Survivors .. Don't give up. I know it's annoying and disheartening when no one seems to care, but there are people who do care.

Hopefully things will get better in time and will attract new gamers.

Well, Im on summer break now, and have nothing to do, maybe that's why I see my threads moving so slowly I want to update them everyday !

Same thing to the winter break

Oh they weren't my original idea at all. I just saw them in some other Survivors and thought it would be an interesting way to do certain Survivor rounds. You're the first person I've seen to do it many rounds in a row.
