I propose removing the giveup option and change the kicksystem in the following way:
1. Everyone should always be kickable
2. AFK should always be kickable with votes from own team only, and already after 2 minutes. From my experience, everyone who is 2 mins or more AFK will stand no chance in the game and leave at most 25 minutes later anyway. Anymore than 2 minutes doesn't make much sense imho.
3. Every kick should need at least 1 vote from the enemy team, except for see 2.
And, as said, remove the -giveup option.

Why am I proposing this?
The simple reason is, over the last about 50 games nearly all of them ended in either enemy team giveup or own team trying to kick me, because I was the last to not give up (and as you can see in ban requests, gozo1985 actually got kicked recently for not giving up). I find it to be very unfunny to not finish a game - if people don't want to play anymore, they should just leave. And looking at the current state of BT it would probably be better to remove the stay percentage requirement from the ranked bot and just up the count of required games.
Please seriously consider if you like it that we're headed in a direction where shortly games will end after the first 5 minutes because of -giveup ("it's already over anyway")
P.S.: Also think about how many well received and regularly played other multiplayer games DON'T have a giveup option and work perfectly without one

Getting used to the Sand everywhere. At least it brings us map updates.
