Current Grems at bottom of the table

It`s madness.

To get all 10 challenges in you have to either challenge Grems that you have no chance of beating, going 20 0r 30 places up the table to find active Grems, or challenge Grems that you will absolutely murder.

Either way the current crop of baby/just walking grems have no chance at all of moving far up the table.

Surely it would be better to have 1 page of active Grems listed than 2 pages where a large percentage are inactive.

It`s been called for before, by several people, but surely there needs to be an "Auto Euthenasia" script that runs each night and kills off all Grems that haven`t fought for a week or so.

Wouldn`t we need to move the Reviewer site to Holland or something - I`m pretty sure that sort of thing`s illegal here.. :P

I don`t think it necessary to bump off inactive grems all too quickly just let challenges stand for 7 days NOT 3 this way there would be alot less wasted challenges. People do go away and get busy or have PC probs offing a grem too soon would not be fair if it was a legit reason for not checking em. If a grem is idle 2 weeks them Whack em

you could just refuse known offenders that keep renewing their grem but not fight with it?
I know what you though, its very annoying to wait for good challenges or face the decision of challenging those high up or wasting one in the hope someone in the bottom wants to play!

One small thing that would be of help to baby grems when deciding who to challenge would be to start listing the grem`s age on the challenge screen. That won`t solve all the problems, but at least you won`t have to keep switching between screens to determine if that "65 - 100 - 120" grem is actually a baby or silver haired and not really playing. The activity bar is nice, but can be misleading when you`re at the bottom of the table and everyone has low activity for a time.

Just a thought.

How about age and date of last fight?

or the bar being a reflection on the fights fought the day before and not an average of your whole life.

On the `Make Challenges` or `View League` pages, you can view the gremlins` details (age, fight history etc.) to see if they`re worth challenging or not. I have just started a new gremlin this morning and there is no one (yet) that I have a snowball`s chance in Hades of beating. The gremlins immediately above me all have bars indicating no activity. Pong (#54) is a pensioner and has yet to have a fight - something must be done to terminate, or threaten to terminate by email, gremlins who don`t fight within 48 hours of their creation.

When near the bottom of the table, I tend to click on the gremlin`s name rather than use the "challenge" link from the list - then you get to see the details of when they last fought etc, and can challenge from there if appropriate.
