So i was thinking of a great feature for this site. instead of waiting for in-house game. i think it would be nice to in your profile enter your timezone and your most common playtimes (or basically when you can play).

by doing this you can find people that have the same time scope as you and can PM them to organize games outside of full in-house events.

just wondering what people think of this?
maybe just enter this information into your bio and make it part of your posts.
possible create a forum section for this. ie. "Looking for other Doobs"?


EDIT: im an idiot, this was already discussed. http://board.dotanoobs.com/thread.php?id=131

Hey we love feedback like this! The other thread discussed a sub-forum for finding play times, not building that information directly into the board, which is an interesting concept.

I think this would be good info to have for team-building, and could help users get more casual games going throughout the week. Eventually I would hope everyone was on Mumble in their spare time and could find pick-up games there, but I do like the idea of maybe pre-scheduling games.

Maybe I make a post saying: hey, I got time to play a few games tomorrow, I'll be home around 4:00CST" and others can reply with interest in playing at that time, and discuss a room password to look for at the designated time...

Idk, let's continue talking about this and figure out what makes the most sense.

I think we also need to try to get more people on the boards. There are a fair number of constant players that don't seem to visit here much. I think having game signup on the boards might help with that a bit.

definitely worth making game signups on the boards. get the full slot of players (all 10 plus coaches). then if you want it private you can PM the game name/ password. and ensure the players are those who signup on the board. enforce this, IE. people who participate well get priority in in-house events. people who don't get warnings/bans to a fair extent. (i assume we are all civilized)

EDIT: extra note, our profiles may also want to get player classification. so new players get "doobs", mentors get "mentors" and as new players get good we can change their level from "new doob" "experienced doob" "pro doob"
