Personally, no thanks: too many games going in tournaments (a subscribers bit of fun only I'm afraid)

But consider this advice if you will:
many people on the site are somewhat suspiceous (sp?) of "newbies". Not because they are unfriendly and mad, but because many people just dip into the site, start a bunch of games then never return leaving all those unfinished games lying about. Hardly a crime (as the vacant games will inevitably be won by the opponents) but it does rankle some people.
One way to abate some of their fear is to type a bit of whatever into your profile, the idea being that if you can be bothered to fill out the profile then the odds of you staying around are that much greater.
And of course, posting on the forums will do you no end of good, so give yourself a gold star already!
Happy playing!

Check the "Open Invites" section too.

As you're not a pawnstar, you have a limit of 6 concurrent games (if you subscribe, you can play an unlimited number).
