Kindof like how Starcraft 2 does it.

I don’t want to challenge strangers directly. I do like being able to challenge my friends.

I don’t like typing a lot for commands.

I’m not going to have time to do the “rules” based membership thing initially anway, and things like that always have unintended consequences anyway (somebody’s playing on a friend’s account, whatever).

Edit: thinking more, I think I agree and I’m going to seed the lobby with some well-named permanent rooms to set the right tone.
