: One
: particularly bizarre instance was when Derelict was voted for in Team
: Slayer, but the game failed to load. We and most of the players in the
: match were booted to a custom games lobby(!) with Tupo as party leader (I
: was leader previously). He started a MM search in BTB, but lo and behold
: it automatically put us right back into Derelict like we had voted for the
: last match... except it was a massive free-for-all battle. So, uh, yeah.
: That happened.

You forgot the part where, at the end of the Derelict game, it quit to a custom lobby instead of the matchmaking screen, with all the remaining randoms and I was still party leader.
