Randy,
There are currently two games (1015764 & 1015762) that are waiting to start due to the host not joining when the game was created. Can you boot the hosts on these games so we can get started? Also it might be nice to give a popup when finishing a game creation reminding the creater that they need to join or decline the game before it can be created.

Yeah, I agree a reminder is in order in case a host doesn't realize they need to join their own game.

For the two stuck ones, the easiest way of fixing this is to either just nudge the host to get them to accept, or to decline the game and re-create it without the person that won't accept.
