Yes, well may "only" have 16 games here, but he has a bunch of games in Beta, as well. Look I wasn't trying to start an argument. I just think more that 3-5 games for a beginner is about right. Especially if you have many other things going on in life. MajComm take a bit of brain power (concentration, strategy, patience). But if you have too many matches at once, it's difficult to utilize any of those, particularly if you are new. For example, imagine returning home from work, then eating, feeding the kids, and then putting them to sleep. You turn on MajComm and have 8-10 games waiting for you. You're tired and mentally drained and stressed because you're running out of time on some of your matches. You probably won't make the best decisions. I don't know how many turns he has in the regular games (or how many games he has in BETA), but he has at least 4 turns on BETA, right now (3 of which will time-out around the same time in 4 hours). If he returns in 3 hour, he will proba...

That, may not be the case, RTE. Wood, try cutting down on the amount of games you play at one time. That may give you the opportunity to concentrate and focus on strategy. Just a friendly suggestions. Good Luck.
