Have you tried setting up a game (non-random)? I've been waiting all day. Have to admit, Waiting gives me a chance to learn new games. I've learned three new games so far. Bye for now M44...I give up.I don’t agree with your complaints.

What do you mean by “non random”?
Re: Ode to Turn-play
Think he means choosing a scenario instead of picking random..
I can see some of the thinking here Turn Based Arena play has caused some Face to Face play to drop because it seems easier to advance up the Arena ladder by playing 25 turn based games at once then to play 25 face to face games.
New non premium players only have 3 scenarios to play, and they are not the best, so they jump on Arena to play some different scenarios.

Re: Ode to Turn-play
If I understand right, you try to launch a game with a specific scenario and nobody come to accept the game.
All players just launch game with default parameters without really looking for open tables.
And with random for map, you wait for another player with same settings, right?
So that would be why players choosing map are left alone to wait.
What if there was another parameter for map? Something like "don't care", "let you choose". And with this one, you can be automatically matched with an open table with a specific map ?
I'm not sure all my guessing is right and maybe random already does it. I'm just proposing something that went through my head, hoping it can help.
