i think it's time to try player caps.

I think the best way to tackle the pop disparity between goon 3 and 4(I don't play classic so I don't really understand the situation there) is to more heavily push 4. An example of this working was last night when Stephanie just told people to go to 4, so it would be less chaotic. Afterward, the pop went from over 100 on three to down near 70, with a healthy 35 on goon 4. This shows that people are willing to switch over, they need assurance that someone is headed over with them. I feel like instituting population caps is just a band-aid fix that doesn't address many of the underlying issues that cause the pop distribution issue. I think a more refined method of encouraging people to make the switch is needed, such as a big 'ol splash text in the pre-round / late join screen, and perhaps some other measures that I'm too tired to brainstorm at the moment.
