Growltigga,

Maybe I'll try one, when they set one up for idiots who haven't been playing very long! I don't mind losing, but being massacred is a little disheartening!

Andy, I note you havn't joined in with the macho posing testosterone fuelled aggro crowd in the Galactic Bar & Grill and Phong's Head Cantina

Why dont you ask to join the game, the game leader is a chap called Mephisto and I am sure he will let you in

(PS I could do with an ally, my life expectancy on this game is about the same as a chocolate eclair left unattended in a health spa)

Andy, just set up a game on PBW and advertise it as "newbies only". I'll join (I've been on the forums and playing AI since SE4 first came out but I'm a relative newbie to multiplayer.)

An all UK / GMT only game might be a good laugh.

Dear Dogscoff,

Seems like a good idea, I will just try and remember where PBW is and how you join and I'll see if I can manage it.

Growltigga,

I make a good ally, as I would rather remain loyal to my allies, and see how far I can progress rather than constantly stabbing people in the back.

I am going to try Mr Dogs newbies game if I can work out how to join,

If I can get the hang of it i'll come and be your ally. Though if you are that desperate I would imagine you are already dead by the time you read this!

Andy

You probably need to create an account first. Otherwise there is no way to tell which games you're in.
