Automatic tribute selector

[benji_r]

Alright, I've been thinking about this for a while, and i reckon this should be implemented into all the MCSG lobbies (US, EU, etc.) There's at least 150 boards in the US MCSG hub, and it can be quite hard to go through all of the signs just to find one lobby that is free. So what if there was one sign right in the middle that was just labeled random. you click it and it puts you into the fullest lobby available. This makes it easier for people who are playing solo and just want to get into a game easily and play.

Another idea was to implement an automatic tribute selector into the MCSG hub. there is a specific area you can stand, and either when it gets 24 players or more inside this area, it puts you straight into a game on a random map. This gives a sense of randomness to the 'selection process', a makes it a bit more like the real hunger games. what do you think? please comment below.

-You have been selected as a tribute for district #. May the odds be ever in your favor.-

Seems like some interesting ideas. I definitely like the 'random' sign idea, that could help a lot with joining games solo. With that second suggestion, it's interesting, so I'd definitely like to try it out.

The first one is good. I don't really understand the second one, but a cool donor perk could be selecting your district.

The 'random' sign would definitely aid non-donors in joining servers, but the second idea wouldn't really serve any purpose...

With the first idea, if you are being put into the most full lobby that's available, then at peak times you will most likely be put in a server with 23 players in it. This means there is more chance of you being kicked by a donator and then a lot of people will be complaining that they can't use the random sign without being kicked. The idea does sound good though and with a few tweaks it could work.

Maybe the game with the smallest amount of people, but with a minimum of 12 already in there so the game will start. That could work.
But for donors being put into a random full lobby works.

IMO there should be two, one with 12/closest to it, and one with 23/closest to it

The "random" sign idea would only be good solo. If you were trying to do a scrim/clan battle, it would be difficult to get in the same server.

Exactly what I would say ^

A lot of people want to play solo and not have to put up with teams/clans. This idea would really only be used for solo players, You would still have all the other boards if you wanted to join as a clan

That works too

I really like the idea with the sign that puts you in a game which is about to be full.
