I'm the maintainer of Connect, although due to higher priorities with presence and collaboration it isn't being actively developed at the moment. By all means take a look at the approach Connect uses, but please note that it isn't finished, so don't cargo-cult the code. The intention for Connect is that the first two participants are players, and further participants are observers, and when a game finishes, the winner gets to play the first observer and the loser goes to the bottom of the list. The numbers next to each player show how many games they have won in this shared activity session. However, the above isn't implemented at this stage - when one game is won, nothing further happens. This is the main reason we removed Connect from Update.1 builds some time ago. I previously asked for volunteers to work on Connect. Despite some interest, it hasn't progressed further, so I'll reiterate: Patches welcome!
