Add Captin Crosser to personal ban lists? Destroyed 5v5 PUG match by not playing at all

from Sins Forums

 

I just finished playing a PUG match and we ended up drafting Captin Crosser with our third pick (when we could have found a decent player still).  He did not play the game at all--even from the very start.  Had he played we might have won the game by winning on his side of the map.

I figure that either he just had no interest in playing or ICO dropped his connection without replacing him with an AI while still reporting that he was in the game.  If he just minimized or went to sleep, then he deserves to be on a ban list.

Also plesae change the way people win in case of disconnects.  Like if no mouse movement in the last 1 min or so you win. bombing all planets just suck..

We don't know what happened to him.  Maybe his set-up fubared because he did the usual build while someone's loading then nothing.

Or maybe he greened up , then alt tabbed out to surf the internet , because PUGS tend to take 30-60 minutes to sort them themselves out

Not true

By definition you cannot green up until picked - once the picking occurs, the game starts within a few minutes....

Otherwise you have selected yourself onto a team which is NOT pugging....

Good idea.  Maybe make the "kick idler" time more like 5 mins though in case the guy really just headed to the bathroom to drop a big duece.

Not the most PC way to put it, but I definately agree with you.  I'd prefer a 10-15 minute timer (or maybe even 30), but there should be no need to bomb out every planet if the person has just walked away.
