I'm not sure either. Something borked. It says that the games were closed due to too many players running out of time, but that's not possible, we all still had multiple days on the timers. It wasn't just those two either. All the games that I started that day have been mysteriously cancelled.
I'll start them afresh. I'll wait and see if they get rolled back.
we are working on the issue of the turn-based games finished. The situation is now stable, and we are working on making these games back to their previous points. It's going to take hours. Thanks for your patience and sorry for this issue.
I was a dumb and didn't start the non-full ones on time, but last I had checked, only Zanthian had joined them, so I didn't think anyone else had been effected. Which ones did you try to join, I'll restart them and set an alarm this time.
//edit: I had to start all the games because BGA times them out if they remain unstarted after about 24 hours. If anyone wants to start some new ones, feel free to post them here!
Time for more games. Don't be shy, games need players to be played.
Also: I finally went and learned how the system works re:expiring games. In the past I never put a minimum player count on games because I thought that it would make the game launch once that number was reached. I was incorrect! Here's how it really works:
Every game had an expiration timer. That timer is invisible, and the length is set by the developer of the game, but it's usually 24 hours. If the game hits the MAX number of players before that time, it will start, other wise, it will start when the timer runs out if the MIN number of players had been reached. It will only cancel if the time runs out and the MIN hasn't been reached. So not setting a MIN was sabotaging the games in the past.
That makes a lot more sense than how I thought it was working, but the documentation isn't good. I had to ask in the forums.
Anyhow, here's some games to join!, and I set a MIN # of players for each this time.
Nope, you can join in at any time. I doubt we'll be done with BGA anytime soon. I'm running low on games again, and might post some new today or tomorrow (of course, you can also start some on your own). Let me know your BGA username and I'll add you to the group.

Bloop. You're in the club now.

Expedition Northwest Passage
In the Year of the Dragon
Sobek

Join up!
Also: Dragonheart tourney, if you haven't already joined up
I'm not sure what happened with 6 Nimmit and K2, as I currently have no active games on BGG. Did they break something or us or just me?

Not just us...

Maybe they'll do a roll-back or something...
Looks like all our games are back, but rolled back a couple days.

What happened to the games?

@Zanthian is the group admin and can add you. What's your BGA username?

He says he'll add you when he gets home from work tonight. Don't forget to join the games once he adds you!
Thank you!

Calling more icrontians! @Tushon @GnomeQueen @CrazyJoe @Zanthian @sharkydart @Colgere
I really need to learn more of these games besides Love Letters and Tokaido...and I think I still need to learn Tokaido
At least join beef heads, it's really a single click per turn. Saboteur is super simple too.
Is it too late to join the fun?

New games! Join up!

Race for the Galaxy

Apparently I was never added to the group to be able to join the games, can you add me? Thanks!
Done!
We need more in Saboteur! That game is super easy to learn.
