Force join

When a Tournament, Ladder, or Quickmatch game is placed in the lobby and that player does not join the game after the Direct Boot Time has been exhausted, they can be automatically joined into the game via Force Join.

Normally this type of game skips the lobby completely, but it can still use the lobby if a player doesn't get any of their preferred colors.

If Auto Boot is enabled, the force join will happen automatically when the Auto Boot time is reached. In games where the Direct Boot and Auto Boot time are the same, such as ladder games, the force join will always happen automatically.

If the player's color is taken by another player, they will be given a random color.
