Advertising Games

So, I decided that a good idea would be allowing players to advertise the match by paying a sum of gold.

What this will do is push the specific game to the top of "New Games" for 12 hours and then letting it slowly fall back down again. When this is done, any new players joining will take open slots and automatically replace any players who have been inactive for at least 3 days.

Requirements:

1. Must be an open match. (No password)

2. [X] amount of gold.

3. Match is started for at least 5 days.

When a player clicks join an advertised match they'll get a notification saying the game has already started, and they might be at an advantage/disadvantage then if they started from day 1. They'll have an option to join or cancel. There will also be an icon on the game saying it's an advertised game. (Besides saying it's on a farther day)

Players who are kicked by this will receive a message saying they were automatically kicked from game [#######].

This idea is a way to counteract the problem of 80% of the game going inactive after day 3 which happens on a lot of games.

Anyone else linking this. I'm sure there's things I missed but I think Bytro would be able to work out any kinks in the system.
