Number of games option

Number of games option:

I think that when a player is creating a game they should be able to choose the number of games they want to create with those settings.

When I create games I usualy want to make a number of identical games with the same settings. Currently I have to rapidly hit the button in order to create more than one games that are the same.

It is needed because it is annoying that I have to rapidly click the button in order to create more than one identical game or I have to go back and reselect everything over again.

If players creating to many games presents a problem for the server there could be a maximum number of games a player could create this way but given that premium members are supposed to be able to make unlimited games I don't see this as an issue. A game ceiling of 100 games seems more than adequate for my purposes.

I think this would be an improvement to the site.

It's been suggested before and rejected. As you said, the feature would likely lead to way more games than the servers can really handle at this point, plus many of them would go unjoined.

If you click the button really fast a bunch of times, it'll make the games...

There is already a limit at 50 games awaiting players. I like jhust jamming create game as fast as possible

What happens when you click the wrong settings by mistake and create 50 games at once?

If you read my post you would have known that I said that. Clicking the button fast is not nearly as good as being able to choose the number. With the option things would be much more organized.

You drop those games.

If the limit is 50 games awaiting players then there should be an option to create games up to 50. It's surprising that this option does not exist.
