i am working on a new online multiplayer game, and I've been able to figure out how to chat, move around, shoot, etc., but the one thing that has me stumped is how to host a game and a lobby to join, similar to the ones found in unreal tournament, or seek and dread. i'd prefer to use mooclick, but it's not a problem if i have to use moogame.

make the lobby a separate channel
When a person hosts a game, let them create a name, and use that as the channel name, and send the channel name to everyone so they can see it
When a person chooses to join the game, set the channel name to the same
Something like that should work

hmm... i kind of understand how to make the lobby, but i have no idea how to have a user host the game. i'm guessing that the user sets the motd, the level, and all the other elements for the game itself, but i'm not sure how to create a new channel and send it down the lobby channel for the list object to identify

Well you're going to need a dedicated server for the lobby. You could use one of the free mooclick servers which would be fine. Then when you host you send the data to the lobby telling it to upload the information about your server (IP\Description\Max players) then when another player trys to join it, join by the IP that you send to the lobby in the first place.
