The pre-battle "battleroom" UI could benefit greatly from a couple additions. Hosts are frequently AFK, leading to frustration for everyone involved. What I suggest is simple; there are more involved ways to make the system even better, but I think even these small steps would be a major improvement:


1. When the host leaves and a new host is assigned, play a "host notification sound" for the player who became the new host.

2. When someone types "host check" (or even via a new slash command like "/hostcheck"), play the "host notification sound" for the player that is the host, subject to constraints to avoid abuse and spamming.


It can be a bell, a ringtone, a foghorn, a klaxxon, a siren, the comically deep-voiced voice actor going "Oh-kay!", it doesn't matter. To prevent spamming, it could be put on a cooldown so it can only sound once every 60 seconds, or only after the room has been open for 5 minutes, or possibly only after detecting that the host is away (as long as being tabbed out is still considered away).

I'm hoping this can be something quick and easy, because it would make everyone's NF experience just a little bit less frustrating. We don't need fancy mutiny votes or anything like that... just a simple way to get the host's attention if he's in the fridge or tabbed to his web browser would be a huge help.
