Free Premium & Game Invitations

[DJ Teflon]

Very nice feature - especially useful for team games.

It would be really useful if it were possible to create a private game that doesn't oneself. Its a lot of messing around to set-up clan games /private tournaments.

First I would like to say that it is always great to see Lack making changes on the site to try and improve it for the majority of the players on the site. It shows he cares and is willing to listen to what the players want and tries to make it better. However, I am going to admitt that this update does absolutely nothing for me. I recently been trying to clear the 2 vs 2 games up that are in waiting status since we have 30+ pages of total games that just sit there waiting for players to join. If I recall correctly, thats over 3000 games. Since this feature was added, the 2 vs 2 idle games have jumped from 100 waiting to now 225 games and I believe it is due to this. Players are now creating even more games at a faster rate since all they need to do is create the games and sit back and relax until everyone joins. I think this is worth watching as the next couple weeks go by to see how much more it will grow.

What do you care if there are pages of games waiting to be joined?

Does anybody else see the irony about JR, the one who asked for an increase in the number of games one could have waiting, complaining about the number of waiting games? That isn't a slam on him as a player, as I am well aware he is an excellent gamer, I'm just saying that his post, at least to me, seems fairly hypocritical...

as always, everyone is looking for the flame. I admitted on the general forum for years I helped keep the total high and was now no longer creating games to add to the cause. Get with the program.

thanks to jr we can all sleep a little easier at night

It would be nice if the PM stated what type of game it is. For instance I've been experimenting with it for tournament games but I understand from one of my players that he had a lot of these come in and almost missed that this was for a tournament. I believe the PM current states "You're Invited to a Game!" but if we could add in the type (Tournament, Private, Public) before the word Game it would be helpful.

[giantrascal]

Just want to build on the idea of the tournoment use of this update.
Since sending out invites, one has replied saying that they don't like the particular map and declined it. I have since sent another pm saying that it was a tournoment game and that changed their mind. Another addition i would like to bring up is to write a message with the invite where you can say whatever you want.
ie: it's a tourny game, or here's a list of who's playing, or just to say 'hi'.

Yup, I fully agree

I almost deleted it as spam since I received so many invites. I want this deactivated. I dont want the extra PM's.

Wasn't a flame... It just seems to me that somebody is pulling and Arlen Specter in here...

There should be a "Reserved/Unreserved" radio button in Game Finder with "Unreserved" checked as default. Now when I do a game search for public games I get a whole page of Reserved games which I can't join and don't care about. This should be fixed, it's like forgetting to click "public" and seeing all the private games you can't join.

[talia-thomas]

Great addition! This will really revolutionize game play. Great work to all!

I agree. and if you go to join a game, there are always 3-5 stipes at the top that say "game XXXXXX is fully reserved" or something like that.

and then about 30 of Klobber's stupid circus maximus games.
