Suggestion Board / Rmk command, 5 min rmk rule

« on: May 24, 2011, 13:56 »

What I noticed in a few recent games, and what I find a big problem here is the "leaver in the first 5 minutes=rmk rule". I find it lacking to be more precise, and think that it should at least be prolonged to 10 minutes, because it is very hard for a team to play practically the whole game with one player less, and getting a rmk by means of the !rmk command is virtually impossible now that we have the !ff command. I know that this would lead to a bigger amount of remakes, but a rmk is better than playing an imbalanced game, and waiting for minute 25 just to write !ff is pointless (and will give you - points).

And please dont give me the 4v5 is playable type of replies, because you know that in 90% of cases it isnt, especially if its from the beginning.

Hmm, is it just me, or does everyone else have problems connecting to eb.net? And if so, why?

Suggestion Board / Refusing to play cause of stupid reasons

« on: September 21, 2010, 02:17 »

Ok, so heres the deal: Yesterday i played a game where two, lets call them idiots, wanted rmk at the start cause they had techies in their team. They claimed it to be a lost game before it even started, and claimed the player playing techies noob because he didnt repick. Btw, the game mode was ar, so by that philosophy, ever 8th or so ar game would have to be rmked at start because of techies. So they said that they refused to play and requested a rmk after about 20 secs of the game. First it was only them, and then two more guys wanted a rmk (during the first 10 mins) but i didnt want to give it to them, simply because i wasnt counting the afkers as being allowed a vote in this game.

So after some 10 minutes of the game, the two afkers left and i banned them, and rmked the game. I hosted a few hundred games here on pd, and never came across such a situation. One of them reported me, i was banned for bad hosting, and the two of them were unbanned.  Now i know that my duty as a host is to rmk the game if 40% requests a rmk during the first 10 mins, and i accept the ban, even though no one ever complained to my hosting up until now.

So, my question is, what to do in this situation, and is it normal that the idiots get unbanned although they ruined the game by afking from the start?

Here are the links to my ban request and to the game:
