On new players...

from Demigod Forums

You know, if your the only game in the cue, chasing people out because they haven't played 91827319739 millions games like you isn't going to help ensure there will be a player base in any amount of time. Quit being rude, play the damned game, teach someone some skills.

Also whats up with the Tournament matcher? I sat waiting for a game for almost an hour with no hits on a game.

Is this game dead already?

yes.  

Also, you know, if there isn't a game hosted in your league, you can host your own?  You don't have to have a server, a special computer, or anything.  Just click host, give it a suitable title, and wait 5-30 minutes for it to fill.

the pantheon was already dead long before the game actually died

No, though there was a sudden dip in players one week before August, for some reason. It cut the already low player base in half.

Lupine - when you are a new player to DG, its best to host your own games and call them new player only or noobs only plz.  The reason people seem really annoyed or kick when you join a game is that 1 inexperienced player will generally guarantee a loss for that team.  So, the option is either wait for a more experienced player to come along and take the new players place or play a game with the new guy on your team, only to lose. 

Anyway, if you spend some time hosting new player games, you'll get more experience and eventually not get kicked from games.  If you want to learn at a faster pace, you might want to do a forum search for OMG or Oh My Gentlemen and you can get on ventrilo and play with a team while you learn.
