It's unclear to me what musing_carson is used for. When I try to access a game with this ID it tells me that "The selected game was not found".

@figaw The ID on the screen is not a unique ID, it's a randomly generated human-readable game identifier, that has an accepted possible collision. It should be useful only to verify that all the players are looking at the same game. This was something added after the initial tests due to some problems while managing multiple links and games at the same time. The actual unique identifier is inside the URL and is also the one that is copied while sharing the game. Maybe we can change the word "ID", like "name"?

@figaw Right you are.
One other way would be to implement a collection of svg icons to switch from. Like cyber-dojo has avatars. Do you know any OS source we could use?

Could be https://icotar.com/ for making an icon instead
