Yes but those games were probably "ghost games" that they now removed.

No selection of running games?
I wonder why this is: Some days when I go and check for new games, I get a long list - including games at day 7 or higher (I like to play replacement positions). On other days I get a short list with just day 0 or maybe a few day 1 games.
I don't suppose there are any days where there are actually no games past day 1. So there is something limiting my choices (it's not the filters).
I used to see a lot of games available at various stages of play.

No. I used to join games that were at day 13 or more. That's not an option anymore.

It is indeed not possible to join rounds after day 7 to protect the players who already play in those rounds from sudden alterations of the game situation. For example they are about to attack an AI player but suddenly on day 13 that nation becomes a real player and beats them. Another problem was players often calling their friends into running game rounds to help them out (wolfpacking/pushing), which is also prevented after day 7 by this change.

OK. A bit of a shame though.
Still, how come I only see day 0 and 1 games then (nothing filtered)? I find it hard to believe that every single one of the games past day 1 is filled.

I find that very common actually. Games usually fill up quickly.NoobNoobTrain wrote:

What is needed is for at the end of day 1 if there are no orders for a taken country then that player is automatically removed and a new player is slotted in . There are too many games were on day 3 there is a 35% drop.

That solution is a bit too drastic IMO.EZ Dolittle wrote:

But I agree with you that there should be some better options to fill vacancies.
I think what is needed is to prompt the game host every day if he wants to open the slots of inactive players. My gut feeling is that mosts hosts have no idea of this option (assuming it is still there? I haven't had the host role for ages).
Yet again, if games past day 1 do not appear on the new games list, it will ofc make no difference.
Freezy pointed out some valid concerns, but I think it was adressed with a hammer where it should have been a needle.
