Most of the best games I've had have been at the junior - and some of those playerlists in junior have just been quite awesome.
I wouldn't mind changing the distinctions of the games to something more on equal footing, since it seems that junior games can and have been just as complicated and newbies often feel free to join either set anyway. But I have a feeling that it's become more or less tradiiton to call these games "junior" and the others "senior" and it's hard to change tradition. For one Glirdan would have to change the name of this thread.

I think the distinctions have been blurred, and certainly noone could call your game a junior one Diamond ducky!!!! But for myself - sinceI have a rather erratic lifestyle, I can only join games when I know when and roughtly fo rhow long they are taking place ..the ones with lengthy gestation periods where you sign up well in advance for an unknown start date are not an option. I don't haunt these games only in a futile attempt to avoid the players who scare me most

I can hardly deny the divine right of Mods!!! I am more making the point that while there is a place for big and/or innovative games short and simple can be good too......
