Split 'join public game' section

Concise description:
  • The current 'Join Public Game' tab should be split into two new groups. 'Join Public Team Game' & 'Join Non-Public Team Game'.

Specifics:
  • The current 'Join a Public Game Window' tends to bombard you this loads of team games on the first few pages before you can find any standard, assassin or terminator games.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Gives the option to surf team/non-team games for those on CC who like to browse the games list to find a match rather than starting there own on finding specific settings.

"join public team games" and "join public non-team games"

And default to the Public non-team game.

agreed.

it's annoying to surf through pages of trips and quads games that have been created months back...

And this suggestion would do what happened to the Private and the Public. I remember when you had to wade through the privates to get to the publics. You could do it by search but newer members just get bombarded.

I think this suggestion should be implemented, and in order to make room for it, the Join a Tournament Game tab could be removed. Every organizer uses PMs or Game Finder to get their games to their players; I've never heard of anyone having to use that Join Tournament Game page (and their organizer is an idiot of they make them do so).

I agree, it's not like anybody is just sitting there browsing through tournament games anyway.

To be honest, I don't think that the join a game tab is useful, just go to game finder and get you games that way. Join a game seems to always have games I have don interest in.

Because having the Join Game tab is a lot more convenient and easier. Look, we're not getting rid of "Join a Game". It's far too daunting for new players and they would simply get confused, say "Screw this! It's impossible to find any games here!" and leave. The "Join A Game" tab provides us with a quick and simple option to browse for games we might like to play.
