Start A Game GM Script?

Post by mhankins4 »

I love the bookmark search option, but I start more games than I join. Is there anything like this for Start A Game? I almost always start the same type of game so it would save me alot of time if I could just load a template.

Click the start game button really fast a bunch of times.

This had been created and due to Lack's concern that a flood of games would be created unnecessarily the script was dropped.

I've created one for myself, but Lack asked me not to share.

It would have to be limited to a very small number, because similar to the issue that yowzer14 describes, having people click "make 999" would hurt the site far more than "make 3" would help.

I understand Lack's concern of a huge amount of new games being started, but I am just trying to save a template of the options I play in most games (standard, sequential,...etc). I don't really want to be able to choose how many of a game to start because I like to play a variety of maps, but only a couple of game types. Just trying to save a few seconds each time. Not really that big of a deal if it can't be done, but I thaught I should ask.

There is a limit of 50 waiting games at a time.

Yes... I was exaggerating. However, the point remains. People being able to very easily create 50 games could be detrimental.
