Why isn't there an 11 player game allowed?

The title says it all. Why?

haha, Shep you are still not quit getting what I am trying to say. I want to know the reason "WHY" there is not 11 player games. If there IS a reason, then I could understand (maybe), just why they have been omitted from play. On the other hand if there is "NOT" a good reason, then maybe they should be added. I really do not care one way or the other myself, just curious is all.

I think his answer is, whats the point? They will cause more trouble than they are worth....though, I dont see how to be honest myself. I mean, eliminating an 11 player game isnt exactly erasing a lot of clutter, lol.

Yeah, that's how I see it too. I mean, it is no big deal to me, just wondering what the thinking is (was), to not include them. I am NOT lobbying for them or anything, just wondering. No need to spend a whole lot of time on this, as there are many other things that may be deemed more important.

It would make more sense to get rid of 7p games as well. Although it would be nice to add 16p games to the list to allow for 4 x quads games?

Ha! I got two people with the same joke!

I think that with any feature one has to consider what the value added is to the site. Adding 24p games adds more value than adding 11p games.

Oh man...figuring out a 24p color scheme would be hell for colorblind ppl like me :tongue:

Yeah, I thought we'd done a decent job for 12p's on most maps. Now we have to rethink and up our game.

On Cold War Europe I used shapes (I'm also colorblind), which helps me immensely. And I was experimenting with colorblind friendly troop containers with color codes on the Asia map.

Edit: checked Europe. There are four different shapes, and each shape is represented in 8 colors = 32 unique containers. There are also a few other colors that I didn't like so much (brown, dark blue) and are only shown as circles. I'll play around with South America's containers tonight.

Edit #2: added three troop containers to South America - two more flags (Chile and Colombia) and a "chocolate" container, to bring it up to 27 options. A map will need a min1mum of 25 containers for a 24p game (including a neutral container).

Edit #3: Far East Asia now has a total of 31 unique containers, nine of which are colorblind-friendly with letter codes and without the marble or wood effects on the other 22.
