My local PFS group plays every other weekend. Lately, when games are posted on warhorn, there is one slot reserved and the other slots fill up almost immediately no matter when the session is posted. If a session is posted at 8 am on a Monday, it's full by 8:45. If a session is posted at midnight on Sunday, it's full by 1 am. Many of the players sign up within minutes of the posting and each other.
I know the guy who runs the group sometimes reserves a slot for himself and/or a family member. I'm fine with that.
Do you think the players are on a text chain with the scheduler? If so, is this "legal"?
I would contact our organizer, but we recently changed to a new one (the old one moved away) and their contact info isn't in warhorn yet.
It's frustrating. I GM a home game and hardly ever get to play as a player (my last time with PFS was early January).
There's a local convention that also uses warhorn for events and many of the same players attend it, but there's still slots open in some sessions. The convention is a month away, but our local group's sessions fill up immediately. The convention is figuratively down the street.
Is this normal for PFS? Is it allowed? Anyone else having issues like this? What can be done?
