Vassal league question,where is everyone?

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

I'm on all the time and have never seen anyone in my group. Outer rim group L.

What am I missing? Should I be using challonge to send a pm to people?

Yes, be proactive with PM. Leave *nothing* to chance. It's the summer, and people go on vacation. It's not the best time for board gaming in general.

How about the beach? Holidays have started so the coming weeks most people in school, or with kids, are gone.

According to NOVA Squadron, I can't get Glitterstim on Vassal.

I wish the same could be said about online multiplayer, because all the window-lickers are out.

Ya you will hardly ever, if ever, catch an in league player on vassal just by being on. I would say about 5% of vassal league players are regulars (use on average every other day), 5% are semi-regulars (2 to 3 times a week for a few games), and 90% are far less consistent and either only come on when a game is set up, or when they haven't gotten a game in in a long time. My group has a group PM on Challonge and any time someone is looking for a game or wants to set up a time to meet, they post there.

Right on. Thank-you fellas.

Our group does its thing in the Reddit thread specific to the group (Unknown Reaches group I).

I got two games in, and another one tonight, so it's working as intended so far. Almost all the members have shown signs of life in our thread too.

Good advice guys. Thanks again. I was sure I was missing something. My first time trying the league and I don't want to miss it.
