Well, the entire idea behind this system is to learn people not to create dead games, wasting the time of the players joining to play. Hopefully, the frequency with which games actually do auto start will go down over time since people learn to avoid it by either paying attention or temporarily leaving the game room when they want to do something else.
Completely agree on the latter aspect tho. Hopefully, the 5 random shots log you out feature should cover that.

You should have left the room before leaving the computer man, cos this is gonna happen a lot to people now.

Completely agree with this.
Not only is it full of problems, I don't agree on there being any real need for it either.

I'm strongly against a pause option, i find enough time is spent waiting on people as it is.

^^ Perhaps you missed it, but the 5 shot logout whould carry from game to game, so when thats fixed it wont be an issue.
Regarding sitting in a game room while you do other things, i'm sorry, but i simply cant get my head around that.
It takes longer to create a room than to log out and back in! Not to mention that if you really want to you just create a private one.

I know what we need... a button that, when pressed, moves that player into a state of watching rather then playing. In this way the game won't autostart, and space becomes available for a new player.

Same. I can't see a single good reason why anyone would have to do that - not even on a convenience level.

The 5 random shots now carry (as well as a little counter saying "1/5" next to the random shot statement).
