Default Re: question on joining game Online: "Start Game" button?

It is to start the game. In a game between friends it just makes it easy to have the Last person start off the game.

Turning it off in is the comman_line_switches.txt in the docs directory.
code:
 --noclientstart Clients cannot start the game during Choose Participants

A host for a large game could include that in the startup. Then after everyone has selected they would hit the start or restart the server with fewer functions. Its alittle hrder to do on an automated system like the web-page one.
