[GP/UI] "Waiting" Icon During Freestyle Waiting Period

Post by Jdsizzleslice »

Know how some freestyle games now have a time limit before you begin?

Why not instead of indicating it's your turn (green dot), we put it's payer waiting (green dot with red square). So people won't get confused.

Seems obvious, simple and timely. STICKIED unless/until anyone has a reason not to do this.

Changed the title for clarity.

Also, in doing so, I noticed that technically that symbol is defined on the My Games page as "waiting for opponent to begin." I'm not sure that we really need to worry about this, but unless you consider the CC timer to be your opponent (which I think some do), then it's not really correct. But I'm okay with not being exactly correct here and maybe it's better to do that than the alternative (but more technically correct) idea of just putting the red square there.

CC timer isn't my "opponent", its my friend... I don't think the icon thing matters, but I have no opposition to changing it for clarity...
