In a flow

Join button → Join a match → If Playing → Edit message: the game is on.
What it does
Take a free seat in a match that's waiting for players. It starts when the last seat is taken. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 6 values later steps can use. Find it under Games & fun in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for games and fun: take a free seat in a match that's waiting for players. It starts when the last seat is taken.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
