may be in wrong place but its bugging me should have spoke earlier , all of a sudden we had ranked games ? never seen any notification beforehand but played in first one then low and behold we recieve arcade games again no notification and i still have not played 50? games to achieve entry when did everyone else play these games ? is there a secret password or trouser leg dress code to enter ? luv johnny.

Playing in ranked games? or tournaments?

If you mean playing a ranked game, then you can play ranked games at any level, low or high, but you play 50 games to loose your newbie tag, and then able to enter Tournaments.

Is this what you mean?

sorry about confusion what i mean is been a member for nearly three years and looked forward to hourly tourneys which was all you could get ? managed to catch first ranked tourney by accident , then came along micro , but i feel when arcade games thrust upon us when did everyone know or find time to complete 50 games to allow access . it took me a few weeks to realise why i was being excluded surely some kind of warning would have been appropriate, or if there was where do you find it?????? lyv johnny.

In all fairness announcements about any changes to the website are made on this sites forum. It isn't incredibly hard to find them. For instance a 50 game limit for each game type in order for you to play tournaments? That was announced and debated over for a good couple of weeks before it was even implemented. And arcade games, although they weren't thrust upon us, it's just like any other newbie who has to play 50 games for any other game type.

You cant expect Admin to send an individual message to every player on the site just so that you know whats going on and whats changing. There is a forum for that already, and if that isn't enough i'm sure that the Admin team would welcome suggestions.
