if i want socializing ill go outside, if i want to kill aliens ill play ns
Would it be possible to make the ready rooms a separate but linked server?
Thinking about it more the idea is reminds me of the lobbies in some games. By making the RR a separate server not only do you allow the option for a lot more without slowing down the game (and/or making it look like more people are actually playing than is true), you could also link several game servers to one ready room. Think about it a bit....
If nothing else it would be great for communities with several servers running. Instead of 4 servers with 2-3 players each in their ready rooms, you could have 1 ready room with 8-12 players. Even if they aren't all going to play together, it gives them more people to talk to.
The idea needs some more working through, but the possibilities are amazing.

If you have a NS intro video playing in a corner out of the way and quiet, and maybe one other side game--that's it. You want people to play NS, not hang out in the ready room playing gorgeCart2008 on the 7 course circuit. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> <img src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2552/gorgecart2008ls7.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
i was originally thinking of a mariokart style race, but now i'm all in favour of the shopping cart idea! (complete with one shonky wheel that doesnt go in the right direction)
