Fot or not?

I want to make it as easy as possible to start a game. So my idea would be something like this: - you enter a room named "newbies"
- you press the "challenge channel" button
- In the popup you enter as the challenge description "just for fun", you leave all the checkboxes for type of gameplay to the default, and press "ok". The challenge is added to the list.
- someone presses the "accept challenge button" next to the "just for fun" challenge
- the challenge disappears from the list and the players go to pre-game negotiation
Agreed, give or take some minor details. A blank challenge description is OK; the player name is sufficient to identify a challenge. I'd also require the challenger to confirm the game instead of unceremoniously yanking him out of the room (message in chat pane with a button: "Cedric6014 has accepted your challenge: [PLAY]"; in the mean time, the person accepting the challenge stares at a "Waiting for confirmation" message with a cancel button)
In tournaments, appropriate challenges would be automatically created: "Semifinal: Novus vs Shiver (200 pt, nodups, fixedfleet)", "League round 2: Novus vs Cedric6014 (150 pt, randfleet, randsel)".
