I know this is better to post on notes, but I have put on before, and I did not get a good response.

This variant has been UR for a whole month, and I tried to find a single testing game by going through every single NCV Tester's archive. I could not. I thought it was because I was the submitter, and tried searching games using an alt, I cannot find one that way too. If there are testing games conducted that I could not find, please send me the links of them. I can find a good reason of variants being on UR being due to bugs, or UR NCV's such as Breakthrough https://variants.world/posts/388 

or 

Ends Meet

was conducted with constant testing. Even WoF's such as Uneasy Alliance has testing ganes.

Is there a specific reason https://variants.world/posts/651 is not tested at all, I do understand that this may need analysis on it being fair, but as an outsider, I do not see progress on this variant being tested at all. variants that has been on UR for more than a month are often met with a lot of testing. If there is a specific reason, I would like to know, if the testers somehow forgot about it, I would like testing games of https://variants.world/posts/651 being conducted as soon as possible since I know that this is an outlier.

It has been tested, and we are currently trying to determine if the variant is sufficiently balanced.

How can you see the testing games of a variant? I would be very interested

the archive

search 'NCV Testing' or 'WOF Testing'

in the username field, input a CGA username, like ChessMasterGS

So witht he info you provided, is it right that analysis is going on the fact that if this is balanced? and this process has been going for almost a month?

I see only a single game of The Golden Rain. Is there something wrong here?
