These rooms are marked (No Help) in the title, but as I said in my post, you can still get randomly assigned to the room by using the "Play Now" button. Until they can exclude certain rooms from the Play Now pool (both here and in Team Bingo), there's the potential for drama. itsme07: thanks for the update!

All brand new I guess judging from the names. Lone Wolf has 2 players Solo Seekers has 2 players Independent Thinkers and Solitary Solvers are both empty right now. It will be interesting to see the outcome of this rather peculiar idea (in my opinion) BigSea has come up with to placate some gamers. Wonder how fast the players move out of the no answer rooms to get into others so as to "share" in the game play? Happy Gaming! Thanks again Lure for all you do!

It was an issue that people actually like to play to try to get the riddle. Since not everyone gets the same riddle, if you play in a room for about a week you will know about 70% of the answers before you even get the riddle next. It just takes the fun out of solving the riddle for some people. Those people also like to chat with their friends or others in the room, so turning off the chat, which many were advocating, isn't a solution since you'd have to have chat off the entire time you play (and then can't chat with your friends). I was glad to see that BSG was willing to make a room or two for this situation, so that truly everyone can have fun. Many people don't find enjoyment in the riddle itself, so they just want the answer given to them, so they can go hunting for critters. Others, actually enjoy getting the riddle. Seems like a simple solution to make more folks happy, and I'm glad they are implementing it. The issue in this case wasn’t over cheating.

Now if they would add 'no parking' rooms to this game that may save their forum from additional clutter as well. ;) I don’t play this game much but I’m glad bigsea is addressing these complaints, minor as it may seem.

Actually, the whole forum is full of complaints and that's why I try to scour it for the best information to give out to you guys, so you don't have to wade through the hate and whining. There's also a 7-page thread (and growing!) that's continuing to this day about "cheating" in Riddle O'Day. I think a lot of the discussion there is whether or not asking for help or looking up the answers online is actually "cheating". It's interesting to me, but people really do get themselves all worked up over it. SassyAngel41: the Riddle O’Day forum on the BSG site is FULL of that stuff.

Personally, I don't see the big deal in this. I get help from here on my riddles but I am always quick to help someone else and also tell them about this site. I guess there is people out there who will find any little thing to nick pick about. I think we have more important things to complain about like the sticking jackpot spins and etc. Lets just have fun playing the many games available and quit nick picking on stuff like this.
