Last player to sign should be owner, since he is most unlikely to be afk unlike player who started the game. Simple as fuck.

We might only have a problem, when the current issue persists, that more than 8 people can sign, which happens from time to time. I've seen 9 ppl signed and someone said also 10 players have been signed at one point, after spam-sign-wars :)

But I guess a simple rule like "if 4s game then owner = player8", that would also cover that issue.

Yes, I tagged you the other day in discord channel when it happened, search for your explicit name-mentions in lihl-games channel. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

EDIT: found it. Last friday, 2 am.

I think the signing should be fixed now, no more too many players being able to sign.
If it still happens pm me pls!

About game owner:
When changing this I can see more problems/drama with 2v2 and 3v3 games though. Currently if someone starts a 2v2 game that person will be the game owner and can simply enforce this setup by starting the game. But if the last player becomes the game owner I can see people sign for 2v2 even if they don't actually want to play 2v2 and strongly convince/force other players to accept the swaps they will do.
Is it worth that? I can't remember the last time we had to start a new game cause the game owner wouldn't show up. Generally I like the idea of the one starting the game (and with that also making clear what the game type is) to be the owner more.

Hmm, I guess there are valid points for both possibilities. Someone would have to make a judgement call on what is least likely to be abused and if the benefits would outweigh to even put work into that :)

Owner not showing up happens occasionally, but to be fair enough, I think both times I've seen it recently, haza was around to swap/start. Ofc can't rely on him being around all the time. I personally didn't feel it happens that often for something to actually be done about it.

Bottom line, idc :D

Yeah, we will stick with the first one being owner. People should not be afk anyway, you can report that.
