Regular partnerships

[jbaptistec]

I think that playing with or against regular partners is always a more enjoyable experience. However, the only option offered currently is to invite a player to sit at the first open table, which does not always match our expectations. Worse : even if one of us finds a good private table, and asks host to reserve seats for us, some other player will almost always have joined before we have finished typing the message.

 

I suggest two things :

 

1. Allowing to invite partner to seat simultaneously at the table we pick in the list. If it is a private table, the host would see the request as a pair, so he can either accept both of us or reject both of us.

 

2. Regular pairs should be displayed differently, in order to quickly find a good matchup. This could be done in several ways :

• Creating another lobby for regular players to play. Of course we can specify in the description of the tables we create that we would like regular ops, but nobody seems to read it.
  
• When two friends sit across, display their names in a different color (orange ?), both at the table and in the tables list.
  
• In a same way, when a player is in a seat reserved only for him (most often because he and his partner are a regular pair), display his name in a different color.
  

 

What do you think ?

Playing with your regular partner is already pretty easy. Either open your own table and reserve a seat for your partner, or click on "I have a partner, take us to a table".

 

But we don't currently have a way of putting you opposite other regular partnerships, though.
