To be fair there have been situations in the past where people just end up hopping the entire queue because of the first person in line letting them (it almost screwed me out of hosting my Generic Mafia altogether not terribly long ago), so I can understand the frustration of someone who's technically second in line at that point. Nobody -- especially that person who would be next -- is willing to just give up their spot to some random who was behind them before just because the person in front of the line gives them that spot.

Looked over the situation with Generic Mafia early in the queue and I'll elaborate that the situation with that game was a LOT messier than this current one, with there indirectly being four slots in question (two main slots, a main slot to replace one of those two, and an experimental slot), and the queue was also full in the main category at the time. Obviously a different situation than this current one, since my game wasn't technically in the queue at the time, but we shouldn't just be giving front of the line spots away when people have been waiting patiently for their turn to host.
