[RELEASED] Join Game

Jun 11, 2021 6:06 am
I think this is a good statement of the problem from Qralloq and RuneKyndig's interview.



I wrote about my first experience with GP back in Oct 19. I clicked to join a random game too when I first arrived here.
What to do?

1. The first thing I'd propose is changing the labels.

"Close game" sounds like it'll shut down the game. I never clicked it because I thought it would end the game (i.e. close it down).

I'm open to suggestions on label names ("advertising for players"/ "stop advertising for players"?).

2. Add a "how to join" section to games.

3. Maybe pretty the game page up a bit - but that's a bigger conversation.

4. We might need to remind DMs if they're currently recruiting for games too.

@qralloq - offered "Open to new players" as a suggestion.

I actually saw that too. I'm going to change it to "Find a game". I think the labels point is really good. Yah, I'll think about the best labels as well as moving to v2, if the stuff makes sense in general.

It's simple enough for me to change the labels the next time I'm in the code.

How do you feel about "Open for recruitment" and "Closed for recruitment"?

"Open/Closed for applications" (as it does say "Apply to game")?
