3.3.3 Widely used terms

The GGZ server provides different rooms. Just like in a big house, a player can only be in one room at a time. Each room has a special purpose, and like there are kitchen, bedroom and entrance in a real house, there are rooms for TicTacToe, Chess and Hastings in a game server. To enhance this analogy: Many houses have, say, two bathrooms with different interieur. So a GGZ server administrator can set up a small TicTacToe room for 10 people called 'TTT Newbies' with a restricted set of maximum 2 tables, and a larger one for 50 people tagged 'TTT Tournament' and no further restrictions. Therefore, each room is linked to exactly one game type. Based on these types, players start to play their games by creating tables. Each table can hold 2 to unlimited players, dependent on the room setup. At present time, however, the maximum number of players is restricted to 8.
