Improvements to Joining Games

Finding/Starting games could be streamlined
There are hundreds of unjoined games sitting in the queue collecting dust. I think this could be improved 2 ways:
- Creating a "For You" experience when you click "join games" or even having this live in some sort of notification center. "Cblake just created a game with settings you usually enjoy". Instead of the feed being in chronological order, it would be a super benefit to sort if by compatibility to the player searching. That way you can find game types you usually play faster.
- Duplicate game type warning: When you go to start a game - there is duplication detection that can sense that there are open games available of similar settings. This nudges players away from starting new games when there are similar games available waiting to be joined.
