Kick AFK Players

[pine ether]

idk that would be annoying
especially campers that camp in the place (like you need mini mushroom) that you can not hit them

[near bobcat]

Better option, the ability to kick or ban without having to stop the game

[inner wigeon]

step 1: make that a thread
step 2: say that u can do it by pressing people's names in the leaderboard and the commands show up in the leaderboard
step 3: profit
step 4: realize this message was

[pine ether]

kinda a good idea

[dreamy fiber]

idk about that, you could kick/ban players just because they're winning

altho I guess you can already just End Match and then kick/ban

[near bobcat]

People already do that

[dreamy fiber]

but like in the middle of a match

[near bobcat]

Nope, they just wait until you win then ban you

[inner wigeon]

i think we should not have "ban" mid game

they have to spectate anyway

[near bobcat]

I'd do some ban changes, like having it give a confirmation dialogue incase you accidentally ban the wrong player

The kicked/banned player also should get a message saying they're banned or kicked

[inner wigeon]

maybe we could have the "kick" and "ban" after someone doesnt do anything for 15 seconds to avoid annoying people kicking people in 1st place

[near bobcat]

AFK kick honestly would kinda be annoying, if you have to run to get a drink or something and get banned, that would just be annoying

[inner wigeon]

no i mean like the host has to do it manually

and they cant kick or ban someone if they are not inactive

[near bobcat]

"{playername} has been inactive, would you like to kick them?"

[dreamy fiber]

I'd say 30 seconds but sure

[inner wigeon]

it better not be a pop up lmao

[inner wigeon]

yeah that sounds better

[near bobcat]

Maybe, have the player on the scoreboard have an indicator or something

[inner wigeon]

id say there should be a message on bottom left that with "yes" and "no" u can click on them in bottom left

and for mobile

mark19 could probably do something about it

[near bobcat]

"What does this 'yes' or 'no' mean by the player name?"

[inner wigeon]

lemme show an example

[dreamy fiber]

I think you should just click them and then a little pop-up shows up

maybe no indication tho until you click it

Honestly though, are AFK players that big of a deal?

[near bobcat]

If there was no indication it would seem arbitrary if you can do it or not

[near bobcat]

Max 10 players, 5 players are AFK

[near bobcat]

Can't be at bottom left, ping overlap

[dreamy fiber]

that would be annoying

[inner wigeon]

why? it barely covers up anything

[near bobcat]

Imagine 4 players being inactive

[inner wigeon]

bottom right?

[dreamy fiber]

well then the 5 players can play and the other 5 can be kicked after the match

[near bobcat]

Bottom Right obscures the item box

Bottom middle however....

[inner wigeon]

bottom mid

[near bobcat]

Obscures the things on the bottom?

Especially if the player is there

[dreamy fiber]

wall jumping above a pit

[inner wigeon]

if there multiples people inactive the other "would you like to kick" messages would be behind the other ones

ahem,

introdoucing

semi transparents

[near bobcat]

"What does this message say? It looks like complete gibberish!"

[inner wigeon]

not the text bruh

the panel like thing

[near bobcat]

"Would you like to click {overlappingPlayernames}?"

[inner wigeon]

the names would show up one by one

[near bobcat]

How would it work if I use controller?

[inner wigeon]

ohh yea

...that

umm

[dreamy fiber]

I still don't know if AFK players are that big of a deal

[inner wigeon]

they arent

but we just wana have a solution

[dreamy fiber]

fair

[inner wigeon]

maybe we could have it in the menu navigating thru "yes" and "no" by pessing right and left on the controller

there would be a little message on bottom mid saying "there are inactive players check out the settings to kick them or not"

like this

the panel would be semi transparent and would go away after like 5 seconds

and in the ingame menu

updated version showing how it would be in the ingame menu and in the game

i think it looks good

[near bobcat]

An entire menu opens up in the right saying you to kick an inactive player

[inner wigeon]

no you open the menu yourself lol

[torn surge]

I don't see a reason for an afk kick to threaten campers
but an auto kick for players that don't move for a long time (15 minutes?) or kicking players in lobbies that don't start would be good to have, assuming that it's not a thing already

[inner wigeon]

actually

im no longer ok with this idea

0/10

no more "winsbydoingnothin"

[inner wigeon]

[willow hazel]

exactly and i hate when it happens
