Condense Similar Results in Game Finder

Post by lgoasklucyl »

Concise description:
  • Organizing the games that appear in the search if they are a repeat creation by the same user with the same settings.
Specifics:
  • If a user creates, say, 25 of the SAME game with the same settings and takes up a huge amount of space in the game-finder screen turn it into a sort of drop menu. Many searches use a [+] for the condensed form and a [-] after the [+] is clicked to represent the expanded list. The most recent game would be the displayed one, then perhaps the total number of games that the user has up with the same setting could be listed. When clicked, the game finder can display the rest of the games.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • It will make the game-finder a lot cleaner and easier to explore.

No? I suppose it's not really important just an aesthetic thing.

Just one of those things people agree with but nothing gets done about it.

What do you not agree with? If you know you want those settings you can open the rest of the games, if not they stay condensed. It would cut pages upon pages of 'game finder' space.

Because that's just one more finger movement I have to do, and I'm a really really lazy guy...

Ah, but see, your laziness should lead to your support for this idea. If, for example, let's say one play starts 45 games in CC Mogul (not that one player would EVER play only CC Mogul or host that many of it or anything... ;) ) and all of them are slapped on the front page of the game finder. Now, instead of being able to find your game on the front page, you have to go two or three pages back to find it. That's two more pages numbers you would have to click (maybe even more!) to find your game.

If lots of people start a bunch of junk games- even more pages!

Or you could put your name in for the search and never see the other ones in the first place.

No, because I would join lots of those City Mogul games, because if I didn't want to play City Mogul I wouldn't have included it in the range of my game finder search.
