game lobby

[fluffybunnykins]

How difficult would it be to give each game it's own lobby/waiting room?
As a newbie that would've helped me loads in working out which game to jump into, coz you could look at something bigger than the thumbnail version of the map, chat to the players that are already in, see if they're noob friendly, etc. and the game creator could leave a message stating their expectaions for how quickly they'd like to work through the turns. The players time zones could also be displayed in this area (if that idea gets implemented) so you don't end up in a game with 5 guys who are all in the same zone & you're 8 hours out and get slaughtered in your bed, as it were.
The site is great though, these are just details.

so, maybe this was not a good idea...

Its a good idea Phil.

Yeah, I'd like this as well. It would be easier to study the map for a bit and check out your opponents' profiles if you could just step into the lobby for a game.

I'd also like to be able to click on someones name in the list of names filling up a game to checkout how many games hes played

As some may realise, when you are involved in 30+ games it can become a little tiresome scrolling through the page of games looking to see if it is your turn.
Maybe it would be possible for the webpage script to realise that it is the users turn in a particular game and move that game to the top of the page. So all the games where it is your turn would be at the top of the page. Sounds good to me. Dont really know how difficult this would be however.
Anyway Thanks
Keep up the good work

Sorting "active games" by "ready to play" on my to-do list but for now it will bold your username in games where it's your turn to make it easier to find those games.

wow thanx lack believe it or not that helps ALOT!! i noticed it this morning while scrolling through my games and was like wow my name BOLD...lol keep up the good work

Yeah, I noticed right away. What a simple way to resolve the problem that people kept whining about. I mean, if you still want you could reorder games by games that it's your turn (first to run out first), then in order by time(turns) until your turn, and then finally games where you've already been eliminated--That would be cool, but I think it seems a little much and I think the bold thing addresses the complaint pretty adequately, but then again I play 10 games at a time and not 50.

Thanks a ton.
