Auto-gamemaker
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2007 11:19 pmI know that some of you, like me, hate waiting for a game to be filled (especially those 6 player games). You can imagine how much worse this'll get when 8 player games come along. So here's my idea: Instead of finding a game or making a game, you can 'quick-join' a game, meaning that you put in the preferences for a particular game you'd like to play and you will automatically be set up with a game matching those characteristics.
Games could be created by people not playing, so that there are always games of a certain type able to be joined.
Anybody else like the idea? Or am I totally naive?

* Concise Idea: To join a game without having to wait for the spots to be filled by simply having a 'quick-join' button that will put you into a game with certain properties you can choose on, however the map will be random. (this is a terrible description)

* Suggestion Idea: A 'quick join' button. See below.

* Why it is needed: Because it can take days to fill a game.
