Join in progress feature in DF.

And how many would pick the "start a new party" instead of the "Join party in progress only" option if it exsisted? (hint: no one lol)
And how many parties would be in progress if there is no one to start them? (hint: 0)

In other words, it doesn't make sense to have "Join only parties in progress". Because then no one would be STARTING parties...

The tick is there to verify the player agrees to also join parties in progress, not to make sure he joins party in progress only.

I would. I very much enjoy starting from the very beginning with a new set of ppl. ;o I find that dropping into an in-progress party where you're suddenly supposed to be acclimatised to the others and instantly be ready for whatever they were in the middle of, is a bit disconcerting. However, of course that's just my opinion on it. Basically I would never join an in-progress party. Doesn't it make you wonder why that party would be seeking a replacement? To the extent that, I wonder what was going wrong for a person (or more) to leave. ;x Yes, sure, ppl d/c or just log off with no warning whatsoever, but I find that to be rare. :< In comparison, I prefer getting to know my party members from the start. *shrug* That's just me. :-)
