waiting for 1 player

Why not add another checkbox in the Game finder?
"Waiting for 1 player" could come in handy in one or both of the following cases.
If you want to join, let's say, a six-player game, you go to Game Finder and check 'waiting for players' and '6'. But there will be pages of results where only the game creator is the first player and noone else has joined in yet. I never join those: if you wish to play people around your own rank, you don't want to risk 4 cooks or 4 captains joining in behind you... If you're the last one to join, you know who you're gonna play.
Second: if you're no premium, you don't want to wait for 4 other players to join before the game starts. If you join in last, you're off...
(I hope this question wasn't asked before, I didn't feel like checking 86 pages of topics...)

This has also been rejected many times before. We want older games to fill up first so that they don't clog the join pages.

but it often seems like people don't start the 1 game they want to play, they start 4 or 5 identical games... it's probably those that fill up the list... so the waiting for 1 player checkbox has no future then
?

Awaiting X Players On Game Finder

<Awaiting how many players option>:
* Concise Idea
The idea is for there to be a Awaiting how many players option when searching for games
<Body>:
I think this is needed because quite often i am looking for a game whcih i can get started on straight away, but am quite picky at what it is. So i would want to find all games with only 1 player more needed which match my criteria for game type etc.
what do you think?

Actually, I really like this idea. It's good, useful, and worth the effort to implement.
Put it in the form though, if you want it to be considered. The staff insists that you go through the red tape.

This has been suggested and never been accepted or rejected. Don't see why not
It would also help when looking for team games.

Game Finder: Players Left
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2008 8:07 pm
by Splash_x
When I am bored, I generally go to "join a game" and search for a game with one slot left... it takes a long time (cuz generally i don't want to join too many 2 players). So I thought if the game finder option could have like a "Players Left" Option... that would make things alot easier.
It will help people find games that can be joined asap. And i think i would have more fun

Oh, god, I would hate this... It's already hard enough to do a RT game without some random person joining in at the last second because it has one slot left.
With this, it'd be absolutely impossible.
