Number of games to start when creating a new game

So you know when you start a game and you choose all your preferences and everything is all good, BUT you want to make more then one game with those same settings and so you click the start game button a million times and then your finger hurts and you get carpel tunnel and hire a bunch of lawyers thinking of a way to sue lack.... HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL NO MORE!!! On the right of the "start game" button there can be a little box (or big if you want to get creative) and you enter the number of games you would like to start. Ofcourse there would be like a 25-50-100 game start max to not have people start 1000 games at a time cause that would be so intense (cool but to intense)

<Body> (TL;DR section)

Suggestion Idea

Have a box where you enter # of games you want to start with the specific settings you have selected.

Specifics

PROS
It will make creating more then one game easier
Lack won't get sued
No hurt fingers
Faster
Make those giant tournament games easier to make
CONS
It will make it easier to make more games which will lead to A LOT more games
Those stronger people that only play one map will keep doing it
May put to much of a load on the server? (idk)
... anything else?

Why it is needed

Make creating games easier.
No more hurt fingers
Makes sight funner because it will be easier to create more games

Something like this has been suggested before, but there have always been concerns about accidental mass game creation.

Even with a limit.

make a limit of 10 then proceed to do it the way you would normally make mass games now, just clicking over and over b4 the page changes you would have 10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10 etc. just 10 clicks and you have 100 games. i think the potential for abuse is too much but i like the idea

Yeah I get what you are saying... if only there was way

well lack could make the button so that once you click it once, it goes away and you cant click again

but IE will get around that too i bet

plysprtz, you want a hint?

When you have all the buttons selected on create-a-game, instead of just clicking the create game button, spam-click it as fast as you can for about 10 seconds. It makes quite a few games at once. adjust the time you spend clicking to how many games you want, and repeat.

yeah that is what I do now..

Maybe to help limit abuse it could be limited to Premium Players along with the limits in number of games that can be created

by **AndyDufresne** on Mon Jan 07, 2008 7:58 pm

I don't think limiting it to Premium players would have so much of an impact, simply because Freemium's can't create more than 4 games at once anyways.
