The problem isn't new, we have too few players

Yes, but real problem in long period to gather players. Because of it's too long, some players may disappear while waiting.

So, i think, we just need to check all players ready BEFORE the game start. And start the game only after all of them are ready.

Now we lose 2 of 11 players and the game not even begun. If these players wouldn't register at all - we would still waiting now. So I think we need to wait.

Or make alternative party for a few players, if they want to.
