Why is there so little "Unpassword" game available to join? I thought part of the attraction of on-line gaming is to meet and play games with people you've never met before! I understand there is issues with "dead" players, but that shouldn't mean the spirit of the gaming ideal is killed?

I have started several "unpassworded" games, and they get snap up real quick, sometimes I would just like to join one and not have to think of a name! (you know how hard that is!)

Well, you really answered your own question in your post. Any time a unpassworded game is put out, it is snapped up by other players. The only way to catch them is to check the site frequently or just get lucky. This site is great and apparently very popular as the lack of unpassworded games suggests.

Also note that creatig your own unpassworded game is quite easy. It will be snapped up just like the others, only you are guaranteed to have a spot.

Cheers,

Hank
