Quick and easy way to be sure they are not getting any noobs in their games. Good way to organize and balance teams before hosting. No harm.

I'm not sure i qualify as pro, in fact im near damn certain i don't, but iv'e been looking forward to playing with and against Pacov and a few others here on the forums so i'll check it out.

Yeah...time was against me at that point...would not have ben fair to you all to start the game when i knew i only had about 30 mins.....never know about the length of some games....i've seen more than a few 70 minute games go round.

Then call it nerdsauce instead of prosauce

They can call it WillyWonkasChocoFudge for all anyone cares, it'll still serve its purpose. I think it's a good stand-in solution before the team features are patched in.

If the number of people organising games through the main channel is small, that would work. If however, there are many players trying to arrange games with each other, a "dedicated" channel would no doubt be more organised. A dedicated channel would also help filter off all the background chatter, since those who join such a channel would do so knowing that whoever's in there are all ready to play and ought to be looking for a reasonable challenge.

I've never seen the #demigodgame channel that lively.  The #demigod-live channel was the same concept, and suffered from lack of traffic.  I like the idea, but I don't think that there are enough players that chat at any one time to make it a worthwhile time investment.  Once the ready to play thing gets going, that will probably be our main solution.
