kick afk players after 2 rounds of being afk

25 votes

Players are going afk and are not being kicked. Everyone must wait out their turns and have their turns auto-decided by the bot.

There was a suggestion that was marked done. It has regressed. Please fix immediately, this is completely ruining games.

when someone is afk it could be a system that decrease the time remaining, for example if blue is afk first time have 2 minutes to act if next time is afk again he will have 1:30 mins if he is afk again then he will have 1minute to act etc so we will not w8 every turn 2 minutes for one wh is afk

I understand the concept of what you are talking about, but am frustrated by you young folk who use these anacronyms without defining them in your first sentence. Us old folks did not grow up with them and have a really hard time figuring out what they mean or stand for... What does afk stand for?

Just had an extremely painful game where a player went afk and was not replaced. Game was ruined. An afk player should be replaced by a bot and docked a karma point after 2 rounds at most, and I'd say after 1. Or at least have an option where 3 players can vote to kick a 4th.

Not sure what the limit is at this point (10 rounds?) to kick an AFK player and make them a bot.
I suggest making it like 2-3 rounds.

There should be a separate button to report players who join and then are are afk.

It happens sooo often that one player that is inactive but connected is destroying the whole game for everyone. Its not progressing, noone can leave because disable karma is not accepted by the inactive player. How is this not a priority to fix? It could be a vote to kick the player or just make him a robot.

I've seen back in 2020 this suggestion was made, but I've played so many games where players don't respond to anything and wait for the timer and don't make any moves. It makes the game so boring and people often leave because of it. I would much rather play with a bot. They should be disconnected from being AFK.

This still doesnt work completely. My opponent has been afk for 4 rounds and is not getting kicked.

This is still happening... really bad today... lots of games with players apparently "active" but not playing... IMO if bots have to do things for you 3 times, your "out!"
