What about "-draw" option

[Wapiti.]

Usually people don't like 4vs5 at the beginning of a game when someone was disconnected due to connection problem, or when there was sabotage :@ ... So in order to make everyone happy without losing points :D , the -draw option might be intresting. Both team need all players types -draw. But the question is, is it possible or not  :huh:

full appreciation of any ideas but the current map version is likely to stay unchanged

I think even if this was to be introduced there a few factors that might never bring this option in to play.

-General community of tanks players is pretty horrible no common sense even from some of the better players
-Games are not frequent people not want to restart a game after waiting an hour for it to start
-Language barriers and just people not drawing.

The only thing I could possibly suggest if 70% players wish to draw then it would be an automatic draw.
Possibly use this suggestion and only allow a draw in the first 5 minutes or after 2 hours it will need to well thought out .

in general, systems don't fail, but players do. most players would probably take the benefit of some startup leaver rather than ending the game early by a draw, since it would take quite some time again to get another game to start with the full amount of players. and by having a fixed amounts of votes needed, players could easily manipulate their league states by just ending a game in a draw.

we've had a discussion about this somewhere once before, but i couldn't find it just now.

There is this thread : http://btanks.net/forum/showthread.php?t...light=draw
Not that it lead to much .....went off topic at the end

There are things we could do but at the end of the day every idea i have might be ruined by players.
There is no harm in trying something like a draw can be initiated in 5 first minutes if someone disconnects but the player who disconnected still receives penalty.

Still i can see ways people could manipulate the system, but really if you where to restart the game and try do it again with the same players no teams would change theoretically.

If players manipulate their league states by voting draw, so Admin just need to make a new rule.

Draw only use for: disconnection at the beginning, and sabotage. If not => banned; like the rule on abuse kick.


"since it would take quite some time again to get another game to start with the full amount of players." => It might be true, but if its just 1 player who disconnected at start, the others 9 players are still here, so if need a remake, maybe they just need to wait 1 more player.
