In the custom map (AOS type) known as HOSK, whenever someone leaves the game, it reminds players that you can re-balance the game by swapping players (by typing "-rebalance").
It's almost guaranteed in a btanks game that at least one person will leave/be kicked from the game. Adding a re-balance function would be helpful, as often players choose to kick their worst teammate(s) to make it even. Rather, with the function you could trade players to make teams even again.
If implemented, it would work like this:
Player A uses the noob exit and this message appears: "Player A has left the game. Use -rebalance # # if teams are uneven."
Then Player B could type in the command: "-rebalance 5 4"
This would prompt a vote poll much similar to when you vote kick, and players could vote on whether to approve or deny the re-balance. If successful, Players C and D would be swapped.
Unlike vote kicking, you can only re-balance once every two minutes.
The only visible problem with this is that people might "steal" players.
