I just wanted to vent, so I am venting here...
I am TIRED of playing in 2950 games with new players (aka Newbies)
running the Witch King and the Dragon Lord..! Every game I have played
2950 so far.. new players.. sure I love to have new players in the
game.. but why Clint.. WHY.. do they always get the hardest positions to
play?
I always ask to play the Witch King, and am always turned away from the
position, "it is already filled", or "I have 3 people wanting that
position" I refuse to sign up for another game unless I am the Witch
King, or someone that has some experience is playing the position.
There I vented...

**** I try to put new players in the safer positions. Just bad luck in your case I would guess. But if you put down for other nations then you'll get them in the order that you prioritise them. So if you put WK 1st then I'll put that one as top priority. With that in mind I checked your positions and could not really find what you meant:
Your choices were Cloud Lord, Cloud Lord , Fire King, (Sindar and North Gondor 1650)
The one where you were FK your ally was the WK., the CL late game was mixed postal and email - I think they are experienced just not very good.
The game you are currently in as the CL as it is still active I don't think it's fair to comment. (I can comment off list if you want).
If you want to play in a game with lots of experience then you need to join a Grudge game (I have a team looking for some DS but it might be a while before that game starts). Another option is 1650 which has a higher (general) skill level required (and consequently stronger players).
I always ask to play the Witch King, and am always turned away from the
position, "it is already filled", or "I have 3 people wanting that
position" I refuse to sign up for another game unless I am the Witch
King, or someone that has some experience is playing the position.
**** The system I use is that I use a waiting list. You send me a list of nations you want to play - the more the better. It's takes a lot of work to get it right at my end but I have found it speeds up game starts by around a factor of 3. Does this mean you want to sign up for the as the WK or Dragon Lord in game 236, 2950 2wk? That leaves just one player - would David want to play the Dragon Lord then? Cool game started. Je tu challenge...
