Original Question:
How do i create a game where i am not one of the players? I tried doing this by filling out all the invites but one of the invites was overridden by replacing me as the player. Do i need special privilege like a tournament coordinator?
Solution:
The best way to do this is to have the privileges to do so. For this reason I'm thinking of converting what I'm doing into a public tournament. In the meantime, I've discovered a satisfactory method of hosting a game I'm not a part of.
What I do is create a private game with a password and invite most of the players, including myself. I need to be in the game initially do these invites. However, as soon as one person accept the invitation, I can now drop from the game yet keep the other invitations in place. Then all I need to do is PM the final player to join that game by providing the link and password. Presto!
1. Create game and invite most players
2. Wait for someone to accept
3. Drop from Game
4. Ask final player to join
5. Presto!
