They can !add tst from within the server, somehow bridged with discord. Once the game has 8/8 players !added, login could then be required, everyone thats not added gets kicked to spectate and game starts. This would allow players who dont want to join discord to add <clipped message> [2025-08-14 10:56:06] <armagetron-bridge> 05discord:Noodles| spit ballin here but what about a pickup sumobar or tst server that doesnt require player login to start playing.

Pub sumo imo is more enjoyable then pickup as you tend to do more risky plays with no consequence. It sucks that everyone gets off tron between pickup games.
