It's nice to have a default public room that's always available? Similar to the public room in thewikigame.com.
The features/behavior (as of now, that I can think of):
There's no host. Articles are selected randomly by the server (and in such a way that the goal article is not extremely hard to reach)
One can join by clicking a certain button on the popup page (e.g. "Join Public Room")
Time limit is fixed (120s) and every fixed amount of seconds later (10?) a new round will be automatically started
The leaderboard can be a rolling leaderboard, e.g. refreshed daily
Maybe we can set multiple rooms based on scoring metrics, i.e. when clicking "Join Public Room", the user is prompted to select which room, based on the scoring (time, clicks, or combined)
Also this way, we can introduce some rooms which have special rules. For example:
5 clicks to Hitler (an additional rule of click limit should be introduced)
30 seconds to Japan
The world without G8, i.e. G8 countries articles (France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Russia) are banned
Just throwing some ideas here
