Hi All,

I have an etiquette question. What is an acceptable wait time before one should PM a user that we're waiting on him or her to start our n-player Fast league games. My other games in the league started around the 2nd or 3rd of March so it hasn't been long since the game was set up.

Thanks,
Anshuman

probably within a day, since the format of the tournament has every new season start the first of the month, so anyone in the 4 player fast league should be creating/joining their games at the beginning of each month.

Gad sent me a warning for not joining my games the day before the current season started.

I endorse kwojtasz's comment.

If it were me, I would be happy to receive a reminder that a league was up and running, not annoyed that someone had pm'd me.

I guess saying 'its about time you joined your games, slowpoke' may not be appreciated as much as a polite nudge!

Hehe, the message didn't annoy me at all. I can't imagine anyone would get offended, especially those who signed up for the "fast" league.
