New feature in the gameroom

**Sigurd** · 11-22-2009, 23:08

Hi there fellow gameroomers.

We (the moderators) have lobbied for a new feature here in the gameroom. It has now been implemented.
We asked for a prefix feature similar to the one in the Backroom.
This prefix feature enables us to prefix threads with these prefixes:

Huge Mafia Game
Large Mafia Game
Small Mafia Game
Mini Mafia Game
Non Mafia Game

We ask kindly that from now on, every game host utilize this prefix feature.
Using it clearly announces what type of game your thread is and it can be used as a filter. e.g. list all large Mafia games (by clicking the prefix.)

Yes, I saw this feature, was about to comment to GH about it.

I like it.

More golden content from our moderator staff.

I think it's a splendid idea, perhaps non-mafia games could be subcategorized, but that's not necessary either way so whatever :D

Gah. Those spoiled brats of Gameroom regulars nowadays.

In my days, you had to walk 20 miles uphill in the snow to be allowed to post a polite request to host a mafia game.

700 miles in arctic cold, 4 weeks without food and 50 lashes later, your request was being handled with only a 10 % chance of approval.

Gah. The sheer arrogance of so-called Gameroom vets nowadays.

In my days, there wasn't even a chance of requests being handled. That's because there weren't requests. Nope, see, back then, we hadn't started breeding like rabbits and so we pretty much had free reign of the place. You wanted to host a game? No problem, just make one and people will join! No wait!

Of course, this was naturally after the Gameroom and all of its Arctic icy glory was created. Way back in the when, we were all at the mercy of our lumberjack neighbors in the Frontroom. Now those, my friend, were some difficult times.

Slackers! If I did solo it for all 14 pages of the Throne Room archive subforum, you three can manage it for the 17 pages of the Gameroom. Get to work!

We will, as soon as we finish pruning a usergroup that has 14,000+ members down into a more manageable number should any trouble arise and we need to find a member quickly.

The Gameroom is opt-in?

It should be mandatory!
