I have been wondering lately who or what chooses the game scenario. I thought it was random, but the last couple of days have brought that into question. I played three straight protect the zeppelin games then three capture the carrier games all in a row.
Is it possible the server runs one of each scenario and I just got lucky and played three in a row by coincidence??
Just curious if anyone knew how it worked.
Thanks in advance for all your expert knowledge.

Its random which are created. Its more common to get into a zep or capture the carrier game becaues they arent as popular, so when people get in one, they leave more often, and try ro get in a bombing game. Because of this, bombing games are full more often, and you get the others. So, in a sense its NOT random, but if the modes were all equally liked than it would be. :)

I seem to get alot of dogfight in the morning and alot of bomb the carrier at night. Some mornings I've gotten dogfight 3 times in a row but I rarely get it in the evening. Odd but true. It would nice to be able to decide which game you can play but that's wishful thinking no doubt.

When do u get zep and hanger games. I want those. And letting people pick would be really.bad, because people would chose zep games only since they offer points. Right now I consider zep games as treats, my treats would become a usual hink, NOT FUN

Hmmm.... I hadnt thought of that since I dont really pay any aattention to my points during the game.... Idk, i like the zep games, but id get boerd with em after a while, especially protecting.

Hey, if u couldnt chosse ur side then u would get protecting half the time. Thatd slow down the point gaining. :)

Really? I always stay on the same side no matter how many times I try. Almost all the time, anyway.

My experience is that I have to wait a while, at least till I have listened through the first part of the introduction melody, or I'm automatically sent back to the game I tried to leave.

Once I tried to switch from defend zep to kill zep and didn't notice I was the only player. When I left the zep game, it was closed and after that I was offered only bomb the carrier and capture the carrier games. :(

You could also change the points system then like maybe turning it off or have more points in other game :huh:
