Alright. So, I have already noticed a glaring problem with hosting two games at once: one of the games has a lot of players while the other has fewer players. If we are going to use this system, we need a way to equally distribute players. So, how do we do this?
HAVE A SINGLE SIGN UP FOR BOTH GAMES
If we use a single sign up for both games, we can split the players down the middle to have an equal number of players in each game. I am going to use the current game as an example. Right now, Alucard's game has 13 players while Bambi's only has 9. This is not an equal distribution. To make things equal, we should have 11 in each game. Honestly, it's gotten to the point where I'm going to wait until the end of sign ups to join a game so that I know which will have more players.
I know, when I play these games that have two different hosts, I pick the game of the host I like better. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this. So, in our applications, we can have the option to say if we prefer one host over the other. We can also include one other player that we would prefer to be paired with. There are certain players I enjoy playing with more than others. I think my ideal game has Satori, Chever, Bambi, Aqua (if he isn't hosting), Tetsu, Tasogare, Sugar, and whoever else wanted to join. No offense to anyone I did not list. So, I could choose one of those that I would prefer being in a game with. This would help make sure the players have an enjoyable game.
I know the dual host system is new and so it's expected to have problems. So, maybe this will help fix one of the problems!
