Add join xeno & join predator to menu
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allow for lobby-people to join xeno from the lobby (if available).
Allow for lobby-people to join predators from the lobby (if available).
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It'll allow for less issues reguarding players willing to try observing to see if predators are active during the round and being forced to go xeno.
It'll remove the 5-minute wait related to xenos and directly allow xeno players to join their 'favorite team'.
It's a quality of life improvement, so why not.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Options to implement it are various...
In the join game list allow for these two options to be shown at all time.
The button for predator verify first if the player is whitelisted, in return sending a "You are not whitelisted." message instead of "There is no hunt."... (Avoids meta).
The button for xenomorph open the list of join xeno with all available xenos OR randomly pick a larva using a spell-check on unmanned larvas (?).
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
A few conditions and additions. Take code from the join the hunt.
Sidenote: You're free to take out the xenomorph button idea, but I feel like the predator option would be convenient as I've seen some predator players (including myself) observe to see if it was a predator round first and find out they'd be forced to play xenomorph... (Mostly happen when I don't like the remaining marine roles).

CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

+1 No reason to wait 5 mins to join if you just arrived at the lobby.

Who would -1 this? Why waste 5 to 30 minutes for a larva to appear?

My only tweak would be that the message for white listed non predator rounds and not whitelisted simply says "predator not available at this time"
