New "awaiting players"/Games lounge.
Posted: Sat May 19, 2007 10:32 amThis has happened to me several times now.
I have joined up for a game, with say 1-2 players. i come back on 1 hour later to see the game is full up and already started. This would nto normanly be bad but i see there is someone with Bad ratings all saying "Deadbeat". He did deadbeat that game and i wish i didn't join it.
So what i propose is there shoud be an option, when a game is created, to add a games lounge. This lounge is just a chat with the map where players have to vote when they log in, these choices are:-
A) Leave Game, eg due to a bad player etc,
B) Start Game.
The game will start either, after 12 hours of in game lounge (maybe a different time?) Or until all the players have chosen "Start Game".
If any of the players choose "leave game" the game will go back out to the "Join Game" section.
I feel this could help espcially if stats for players are introduced becuase it could result in the deadbeats etc being more singled out and making RT actually start because if a player doesnt click "start Game" the others can leave knowing he wont play, therefore not taking up there RT spot.
