Quote:If folks like Protege find it slightly more annoying to open Disco just to check the playerlist then perhaps they should just play since its already running?
This doesn't work like that. The base question is "why should I open a game which might give me some fun instead of opening a game which is guaranteed to give me some fun?". Especially considering that opening disco takes me about ~5 minutes. Opening, for the lack of a better example at the moment, HuniePop takes 5 seconds.
So your guaranteed fun revolves around if people are in a select system? Essentially treating the playerlist like a server browser and waiting for your prefered map (read system) to become populated?
To top it off you consider 5 minutes too long of a time and wasted effort if your specific requirements are not met?
