I was thinking more of a behind the scenes kind of option. For example if I had the option set to 'no-timer' and I challenged TarkinX (sorry to pick on you tarkin) who set it to 'timer' then we'd automatically play a game with the 'timer'. But if we both had it set to 'no-timer' then there wouldn't be one.
So there wouldn't be any accepting options with each challenge. Just that some options automatically override others.
But I see what you mean about the options getting out of hand with the different stages and such. I hadn't thought much about that. Anyway, it was just a suggestion. I am most certainly not complaining about the excellent job you've been doing in creating this game in this kind of environment.
P.S. I vote for Cammy next.
