I think a lot of people aren't playing your games because they have no idea where to find Japanese names that start or end with X letters outside of the database. A link to a decent source would be great. Not everyone has your level of expertise. "Make sure you don't use a last name!" is pretty useless for people who don't have the first clue about Japanese names (AKA 99% of the board).

Regarding the note

It could also be that the fact that there are requirements to this at all in NTNB (not just looking for Japanese names that are phonetically similar to English names or words in the case for me) can make some newcomers stay away from this and move to CAFs.
That's how I see it.

I just don't understand why you can't simply include links to things instead of telling people to go here, here and here for things and then getting an attitude when people can't find them.

I enjoy NTNBs but your attitude and lack of explaining things has driven me away from yours.

Sorry.

This is seriously getting off-topic but maybe I should just stop with the NTNBs then and stop posting responses to other NTNBs if that's what you want me to do.

I never said that's what I want you to do. I'm saying it would help if you explained better and maybe even provided links. Or continue doing what you're doing. It doesn't matter to me either way. I thought you were asking why you weren't getting many responses so I figured I'd reply.

I am not sure why you're specifically referring to newcomers as a lot of people who post here aren't that new to the board, but it's been normal for years for NTNBs to get less replies than other kinds of games. I have limited time to spend on games and dislike the competition aspect of them so tend not to even click on NTNBs. Some people generally prefer the CAF format of spending less time coming up with more combos and without the story. *shrug*
