It gives everyone a measure of control over who they enter into games with. It's not fun for someone to be purchase/be purchased and realize that their ons & offs are completely different from their partner. In situations like that, you may see people drop out of the game, or refuse to play with someone, which would only lead to drama.<br/><br/>For future projects and such, I think getting a roll call of all applicants (slaves & owners) and putting them all in a list that is visible to us. Then while a bit of beginning roleplay can occur in the meeting area, people can PM one another and set up games with each other. Once all matches are made, that list is published and we start roleplaying the auction. Since I know I'll be buying slave C, I can have a little fun betting against slave A or B just to make things more lively, even though I know I won't be winning either of them.<br/><br/>Any people who request to be added after the initial applicants are all posted, can be put on a waiting list or used to fill slots that open up. I think that might help to keep things a bit simpler and keep the drama out of the game.
