The other thread was supposed to be a poll but I messed up so here we go again.
An admirable goal! It doesn't matter if you set the bar too high, it's trying to jump over it that counts.I started playing in 1993, and the most scenarios I have completed in a year is 56.
I added an extra column to my records and found that I have an average of 23 games per year (FRD).
I had a goal of getting to 1,000 games by my 50th birthday, but I gave up on that more than a year ago when I saw it was too unrealistic, and that would now mean I have to play another 350 games in less than 4 years, and that's not going to happen.
Decreased playing seems to be the case with the majority of respondents so you are not alone. While it would seem older players would have more time to play, especially those who are retired, it doesn't seem to be that way.In my peak years, I played more than 100 scenarios a year. In the past several years, it has only been around 18-25 a year. In 2020 it seems very likely that it will be zero, an extremely sad situation.
You should record playtests. They really should count double as you are doing important work. I always thought playtests took longer than a comparably sized scenario.I thought it would average out around 20, but over the last few years it turns out I've averaged about 30 -- not counting playtests, which I don't record ... so it probably works out to between 30-40.
Since most of my games are played via VASL anyway, this year is looking to work out about the same.
Same here for me. When i had five regular ftf opponents available, i played 50+ games a year. Now it´s around 20-30 games, if i´m lucky.When I was playing regularly, I could get to 100 games in a year. When Fort and I lived close together, I could play 50 or so play-tests in a year. Now, I am lucky to get to 10 or so and then usually only at tournaments. -- jim
You are a winner
What are the red and blue or did I miss something?
Blue is total, green are wins and reds are losses (and ties). This is just part of the scenario archive's 'My Page' functionality. If you log your games on there it charts your games.What are the red and blue or did I miss something?

1998-2000 were dark days for you, my friend.Blue is total, green are wins and reds are losses (and ties). This is just part of the scenario archive's 'My Page' functionality. If you log your games on there it charts your games.
