I love SnGs, but geez Torn doesn't have the thing right just yet.
Not heard anything on the topic of dev time being spent on this, so thought I would just write up two options for them
I know that some of this might be harder than it is in my head... but anyway
1> Queuing system
Players add themselves to the queue, pay the stake, anonymously.
The lobby shows players queued
When 6+ players are queued each player in the queue, starting with the first 6 to register, can claim their seat. If a player takes longer than x minutes (1-5?) then if a 7th player is queued they get the option to take the seat after this time and yada yada until table is full
This means players can continue playing cash tables or whatever - and if the poker engine can't handle option 2 you must leave cash table to claim your spot.
Why would this work? Because as soon as 3-4 are in the queue you will get more interested..
2> Let folks play a cash table and a SnG table at the same time!
Yeah I know, hard if not impossible no doubt. But at least both types would be lively
