When you selected the game and voted, you were on the 'Interest' tab for that game. To join, select the 'Players' tab and select an Open position.

I did not select the game. I just looked at it and saw 3 showed interest but no one selected a race to play.

You can join at any time, under the Players tab. If the game is Accelerated Start, you can play the first few turns immediately.

While it isn't necessary to express Interest, it's polite to do so.

There are no site rules on how games are created, go through Interest to New game section.

Many people press interest to promote games to the New Game section. They will in the intention of joining the one that gets to the New Game section first or just to promote games they want to get started.

That worked in the past but we may have to consider stop doing that as there is now a new policy of only have a limited number of New games (but the number etc has not been explained by Admin).

Pressing interest does not reserve you a slot.

You could place a comment about your interest in a certain race in the activity feed but some people may not see it, honour you priority and then jump into the slot you want.

So if you really want a slot in a certain game you need to press interest and join that slot but then expect the game may not start for weeks or in some cases months or in fact never as you give up and leave that slot.

We have been told that games will start if the game has full interest, all players filled and still waiting in the interest section.

If what you say is true, the I must freeze the Matchmaking Project. That project intended to take advantage of an older change which allowed a game to start as soon as all slots were filled, even if the interest "requirement" was not met.

I think it still needs full interest, as you need the same number of players as slots pressing interest.

I remember one game had full player list but one player had not clicked interest so it had not launched. But this was before the interest games not automatically transferring though.

But if you have full player list you should have full interest if you give all players a reminder.
