This doesn't solve the problem of things getting unweildy due to the
number of players. Most people will be in the SAYC room.

Probably the most practical approach would be, when the default room
gets too big, to create a new room, and start adding newly-connected
people to it. As the older rooms empty out, new players get added to
them to keep them full. You also allow players to join arbitrarily
named rooms. (This is what's done on the online game server
battle.net, and probably others.)
