it does allow other people from other time zones if we did 12 hours

but again

this is what pre-signs can become

#18432

allow up to one third of the total playerlist to pre in 24 hours before, with a whitelist rather than a blacklist, but the whitelist is basically just all the regulars

#18433

The 1/3 thing actually works?

I think)

#18434

as in, in a 16 player game, 5/6 people total could sign up early with this method

#18435

fuck sake I was taking my medicine while talking here and now I’m not sure if I actually took a pill, took two, or took none

#18436

we will see when I don’t fall asleep

#18437

Because I think it’s unable to be backed up by statistics due to fm not having a specifically high focus on recording that information
Ergo it would require assumptions based on people’s behaviors

#18438

If you make pre signups like this
Then why not just make games open 12 hours earlier

#18439

Did you know airlines overbooked because they expected some people not to show up

#18440

yes

#18441

That’s what your suggestion practically suggests

#18442

aren’t pre-signs ups now this

#18443

That’s what the whole idea of pre /ins is basically!

#18444

why would we prioritize regulars instead of new players

#18445

i mean. no real reason. also its only a slight priority.
if you want it to be even lower just make it like 1/4 or like 1/5

#18446

If ONE game fills before signups posted I can guarantee you it’s going to happen again because people will be scared a game fills before the signups are posted

yes but this case doesn’t work since you have to pay for airlines and you also have to be physically present for them
you can be pretty much anywhere and play fm

#18448

Pre signs and signups re the same thing but dressed differently and come with the same problems

#18449

but the 1/3 pre-in is the main thing. its just to set a precedent for pre-ins so hosts can say “oh, i would love to let you all join now, but i actually cannot do that” if too many people are trying to do that
