<Subject>: Allow new/novice players option on create game menu.

* give game starter the option to allow 0-0 members to join this game or not during creation.


<Body>:

* Suggestion Idea: Would like to see an option on the create game menu to allow 0-0 players to join or not. Perhaps set it so that user must have 2 positives before they can join the game i create, if i choose to select the option or not.

* Specifics: allow novice players, yes/no. simply radio button on create game.

* Why it is needed: Too many new players join games and then never show, thus delaying games for weeks. 3 players who don't show can make a game last a week longer than it needs to.




The past 20 or so 0-0 players to join my games simply never showed up simply delaying the game for weeks.

I would love for there to be an option to dis-allow anyone with less than say 2 positive feedbacks from joining a game, if so desired by checking the check box.


'allow n00bs?' yes/no

:)


please, and thank you :)

i like your idea about the feedback thing. itd be nice to block someone with say 28 negs.

but then you have to ask what about a player with 20000-28 (slight exaggeration lol)?

itd have to be a ratio positives:negatives

Been suggested and rejected before. Just be more conscious of who is in the games you are joining/who joins the games you are in after you've joined.

Or get a premium and create passworded-protected games.

i am premium so thats not an issue.

if i start a game with 4 players, and 3 are cool, and then the last one to join never plays. there's no dropping out of it. kinda sucks.

why don't you want noobs? it's like fish in a barrel...with the occasional deadbeat.

i wish it were occasional. i'm in 150-odd games right now, and probably 20% of them have 0-0 players in them. of those, 15% have never showed up to take one turn.
