FWIW, not everyone plays on Colorado, nor does everyone wish to.
Thankfully.
We are down to nearly no fort diggers or fort leaders for this "dead world" at this time for digging 1 of 42 available forts. As you can see, here, this person in Kara Tepe is not a regular fort digger or leader. He simply dug so people could get pretzels (unfortunately, we only get about half of what you might get in Colorado, but people want them just the same, as we have to dig more often to get what you get in Colorado from just one battle.
That's great that actually someone can dig fort battles, so you can speak with that player that if Awesomai is not available for some reason, he should dig one of that 42 remaining forts, of course if he wants to. Plus, if you dig multiple forts during events, you can have more pretzels.
As you can see, Awesomia was dug twice in 48 hours or less each time, yet right now since GM dug one there, it is STILL 51 hours until that battle takes place and he dug it at least 12 hours or more before now. There is likely to not be any more battles at all dug between now and the time that one takes place, leaving yet at least 2 days now before pretzels can be gained from this battle. There could have been probably 2 more Awesomia battles dug between the time it originaly was dug and the time it takes place. This is the point I was making and I am mainly a spokesperson for others that have brought it to my attention, also.
As everyone else mentioned before, choose another one. Or, you can ask a neutral town (or one of yours goes neutral during events) to accept x amount fort invitation, leave from those forts, the main digger can dig those from another neutral town, and there you go, you have homemade Awesomia! Simple as riding a bike!
Another thing brought to my attention. If we are going to do even Awesomia battles, we like the option to have a "start place" that ensures the battle lasts more than 10 rounds or less, rather than the current "suicide only" topic...but, that's yet another subject entirely (again, brought to my attention from others).
Goober digs these special battles by himself, plus I'm pretty sure he's doing other tasks too. Do you think he have time to be online in every world, and change topics twice during battles, in the same time?
(the right answer is no)
The type of responses I was given when I posted on this topic is the very reason that many people do NOT post anything here, rather they prefer someone else to speak on their behalf OR not post at all. Just sayin...
You're welcome!
And yes, @Goober Pyle thank you for offering an alternative (although you are asking a lot for someone that normally does not dig a fort as they probably have no idea of "configurations", etc... and well in advance to boot), we simply want to be able to have Awesomia (or alternatives) more often than we have after you dig one ; however, that would also hopefully be someone willing to donate a fort that has most the forts already, which ... well, we'll see.
Homemade battles where 2 neutral towns digs each other whenever they want to do anything, or simply just bring back the daily prime battles, even if nobody wants to lead there tho.
But keep in mind: Awesomia is the only fort where every support team can mess around, without causing any problem. Many years ago there were few ideas what we can do there, regardless what's going on the servers. But, they kept that fort for "giveaway battles" and every region using Awe only for this specific reason, which is good for everyone. Well, almost.
Anyway, many solution can be done by players in this case, and I'm pretty sure you can solve this issue by your hand. Idaho needs 2 players, and 20 minutes preparing.
