Opening a new game - Set a range

Hey,

The other threads talking about collusions with unique game stakes got me thinking.

What about being able to set a range for opening a new game? Something like I am interested to play a game from 0,10USD - 1,00USD.

Other people could see this in their "Join Game" view and click on it to set a desired amount within the limits.
They also could open a new game and when the stake is within the limits could play against each other.
If the opponent is also opening a game with a range (e.g. 0,8USD - 1,5USD), the game could be matched with the highest possible (here: 1,0USD) stake.

Re: Opening a new game - Set a range

I like this idea a lot outside of the tournament discussion.  I for instance would probably always put a $20-$100 type range....

Re: Opening a new game - Set a range

I feel like this problem kinda solves itself by both players naming a stake.

Say claspa says 20, while cullman says 100.  They'll both see the other game on their WAITING screen.  At that point, either one can say, "I'll do 50" and create a new game that the other will see.  Oh, so you won't come up from 20 to 50?  What about 30?  Still no?  What about 25?  Okay!

Yeah, it's a bit slower than naming a range, but it's also simpler.

I rarely see these adjustments. It seems that people usually stick to their original stakes, probably aren't watching the Waiting screen actively and just wait for the gong.

Yeah, I usually leave mine on in the background after choosing a stake. I check periodically, but I probably miss a lot of other games at similar stakes I might play.

However, I think this will be less of a problem when the game is officially released.
