Just tried it - just what I was looking for.

Thanks Tickman - at only a year old I'm learning all the features of the site.

Dalkeith:

There is a "Play a random game" function. If you're playing a game, it is the rightmost small icon above and to the right of the game window. It looks like two arrow paths crossing.

I just ran through 15-20 games that way, and all but one of them seemed good. So there is no doubt some selectivity: number of likes, perhaps or number of plays. I don't think I'd get the same result if the selection was perfectly random over all the games at PG.

And now, a second test of 20 games--similar results. All but one seemed to be at least OK, and some were very good.

That such a simple idea can teach you so much.

I would like to see a Random Quality Game Suggester. I sometimes go to the most liked page and scroll through the pages but after you've scrolled through 20 or so pages you get a bit tired of doing that.

No Idea if this is easy to implement or not.

After admittedly quite a short search I wasn't able to find a game on Russian Autonomous Districts and therefore made one up.

Putting dots at the North Caucusus Economic Region the circles were larger than the areas. My fault for doing that but it struck me it would be damn useful if users could draw straight lines on their maps to point to particular areas of graphics. I could go into Inkscape and draw the lines (I probably will when I get round to it) in advance on the base graphic but prior to import its quite difficult to predict which areas will need lines and which will be able to accommodate a single dot.

Apologies if this has been suggested before I have done a few games now where odd areas have been smaller than dots and as a result dots start to obstruct the view of the graphic the ability to draw a line would have been useful in these cases. Of course bigger maps would also help but I suspect that has been suggested before.

(Thinking on it I'll maybe keep this and break down into four areas and then players can practice on the separate areas before building up to the whole country)

If Wentu had not become inactive here, he'd be over 2000 by now.

By the way, thanks for putting this together. I recognize all the names, but didn't really know where they all stood.

Cool chart! I was always wondering about this... :)

It's very nice to be a relatively "new blood" in such a strong group of PG veterans. I like playing your games and hope that you are going to continue creating them.

It is not pleasant to me.
:)

What asks no questions but receives lots of answers?

In the night a mountain in the morning a meadow. What am I?

What goes up but never comes down?

Three little letters
A paradox to some.
The worse that it is
The better it becomes.

I am in a house with no doors. There are people inside but give no reply. Who am I?

A fish. A fish bowl or aquarium is the fish's house and the people inside are the decorative divers that offer no reply (one might ask how the fish knows, given that they aren't a talkative bunch themselves).

I hide but my head is outside. What am I?

What three letter English word has an odd start, an even finish and an infinitely long middle?

When a bird flies over the ocean a part of the body touches the water but doesn't get wet. What part is it?

I appear in the morning but am always there.
You can never see me though I am everywhere.
By night I am gone, though I sometimes never was.
Nothing can defeat me but I am easily gone.
What am I?

In the marble walls as white as silk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple does appear.
No doors are there to this stronghold
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

I am here, I am there
I am burned into the mind of none
I walk on fire and live on ice
My words are meaningless for I talk not
I hate everyone yet fear no one
I have lived for centuries
Yet I have never existed
What am I?

Yes! All correct! Even #3!

Remarkable.

Therefore, I have left a remark.

And congratulations. I like people who play tournaments. Especially mine.

6. a prince
3. handicapped sign?

1. a tie
2. the letter "n"
4. keyboard
5. wick of a candle
7. a half

I am excited to say that I have played exactly 500 tournaments! I am only the ninth player to hit this milestone. :)

There are two meanings to me. With one I may need to be broken, with the other I hold on. My favorite characteristic is my charming dimple. What am I?

Toss me out of the window,
You'll find a grieving wife,
Pull me back but through the door, and
Watch someone give life!
What am I?

What has a head, one arm, one leg and a round bottom?

I have an end but no beginning, a home but no family, a space without room. I never speak but there is no word I cannot make. What am I?

In the day I stand tall in a white petticoat. By evening I'm in my short black dress. What am I?

I cannot be other than what I am
Until the man who made me dies
Power and glory will fall to me finally
Only when he last closes his eyes

Two in a whole and four in a pair
And six in a trio you see
And eight's a quartet but what you must get
Is the name that fits just one of me?
