My impression is that games are taking a little longer to fill up due to the
many options now available (1-week-all-email, 2-week, 3-week, 1650, 2950,
individual, team, grudge)  That is a total of 18 different game types, even
if you don't take into account Free vs Dark preferences.  I would not be
surprised at a 6 week delay in game start if you happened to join a game
early in the cycle of getting the totals together.  Considering that a
good game could run much more than 20 turns, cultivate a patient frame of
mind. :-)
