Dear Ninjanrd, the point of an anonymous game is that you can't PM anyone and say: "Hi, I'm France... who is...you?", because you actually don't know even only one name of who's in, and so you can't PM anyone.
However, if you like to call "anonymous" a game when you know the name of who's in it, well... it's an interesting point of view I must admit.... but it's not my businness so I won't debate it.
My businness is that:
- if I know a name in an Anon, I don't join it;
- if I joined an Anon and someone, who's in, tells his name in the Forum, I leave the game
(I can do exceptions for maps with 30+ players when someone opens the thread "Hey! Epic Chaos!... 3 open spots and 2 hours left! Hurry up!").
As most of the players do here, I often open the "New" (games) page, so I don't need ads.
Expecially they don't need ads those less-than-15-players-NEW-variants games: everyone is looking for them!!
This notwithstanding, I usually read the Forum because I need to know which anon games I have to leave or to avoid joining, because someone turned them into Not-Anon-Anymore.
Have fun! :-)
Kind regards
G.
