Waiting List

I've noticed Somerunce likes to pee in other peoples cheerios so I'll add my input on the subject.

It's a great idea.  Definitely would add a little more polish to the game.  There are a lot of times where this would also fit into the "Server Favorites" list.  Sometimes a server is just more moderated and has a better set of players that keep coming back and you badly want to get into THAT server - this would solve that.

Other things Somerunce doesn't believe in: Downloadable Tees from server, More tees than what is included in vanilla-teeworlds, More than 12 players per server, etc. - just from a quick search of his posts.

The first thing that popped into my mind was "Who would really wanna wait on a server slot?", and I still don't fullt get it. At the very moment I'm writing this there are 219 servers, and 19 of them have minimum one player (like five have just one). Ok, ok, I know it's past midnight and it's probably the time with the least players, but hey, I don't think it will be 200*12 more players tomorrow morning playing TW when I wake up. I'm not saying it's a bad idea with a queue, I just don't get need.

The biggest diffrences between servers today are maps and mods, not players. I can see that the demand on, for example, the survival server is higher than on vanilla or instagib, because it's just one server hosting that mod atm. But really, a thing that's only necessary for a few servers? The most of the servers host normal games, or instagib, and if you really wanna play that type of game so bad, why not just pick another server? And if you have friends playing on a full server, just ask them to join a server with less players so that you can join in too, or spam refresh?

I feel that it's about time to add something like that when there aren't as many servers as there are players, or as now, twice as many servers. But maybe I'm missing something?

nah..

His idea is good because it incorporates a few other ideas that would improve tee-worlds as well.

Reserved slots for admins
Spectators not showing as players on server list (I use this cheap trick to keep my server full with just 2 spectators, people think there are others on the server and join)
and if teeworlds supported the ability to allow more than 12 tees per server, we'd have less of that problem.

As it is now, Teeworlds is one of those "5 minute games" that you can play just before work, or before you have to go somewhere.  There is a lot of rotation on the servers, but sometimes you have that extra time and you just want to play with the friends you've made on that one particular server.

hmm how about increasing the numbers of max clients on server but not changing the number of playing slots and in the next round they play and some other people have to spec with some kinda list system those who join later on the server have a higher list number than the people who are playing
