2024-09-21 Getting started with that open table
===============================================

It‘s not that easy, unfortunately.

We used a dedicated channel where referees post game dates, and when
people say they want to play on that day, the announcement is updated
to include their name. If not enough people sign up, the game is
cancelled.

There is a social channel that provides community and prevents the
server from falling away into ignored-land. Not sure how important
that is.

We keep signing up and chat about the game in a separate channel so
that the “next games” channel sticks out.

If the pool of players is small, offer a role to people interested and
tag it in the announcements.

That‘s all I got.

Going from “referee proposes a date and players sign up” to “players
ask me for available dates and recruit fellow players to the
expedition” took me 45 sessions…
