Raldor has updated the site to be specific about what phase the game is currently in. If you look at the bottom of a calendar entry you'll see that status. So far there's Tentative (LLama, LLama, Duck), Recruiting (WW IX), and In Progress (YOW2).
I have linked both this thread and wolvesitp in my signature for handy reference and a little wider dissemination. Though I agree that maybe we should post games by the date that they plan on starting recruitment and then just change the phase as it progresses.
