You know what would be a cool idea? If you could create a game with a password and then turn off the password to open it later before game start. That way you could start up a game and be sure to let one or two of your friends join up, and then when they are in, open it to the public.

Open games fill up way too fast, so if you want to be sure to play with a friend, you either have to have perfect timing or create a passworded game... and then you have to post the password to let the public in.

Anyway, just a thought. Dunno how hard/easy it would be to implement, but it would be a great site enhancement, in my opinion.

Or once your mates are in just post the password to allow the general public in. The same result with no need for new programming.

Yes, I noted that as an alternative option. But then you only get the public who reads the forum and finds the PW, not necessarily the general public. Could be good, could be bad.

Anyway, I think it would be a cool idea if it can be coded easily. I obviously am not in favor of diverting limited developer resources from the primary task of coding great games. Smile

This is already planned (and will be fairly easy to implement) -- I expect to include it with a few other game creation enhancements tied to the whole inactive player issue...
