Shorter time for "placing the robber" to avoid long waiting for afk players

3 votes

If a player has left the game without becoming a vot, for example afk (away from keyboard"), each it takes 40 seconds to wait for the bot to kick in to place the robber. With a lot of 7´s this get really annoying.

So, is the bots and lots of 7 rolling the problem, or is it the delay from the person being away from keyboard (afk) that is the complaint that you would like something done about?

I would like to see an ability added to the system to specify that you would not like to ever play against a particular player again by clicking on their username in lobby or in game and selecting "Block games with this player" and then also have a selection listing how many times the player has been blocked.

The player that is being blocked should not know who has blocked them. In this way their should not be retaliation problems created, just giving people the ability to choose who they don't want to play with. This will create a list of names of blocked players that is associated with your account. Only the game developers would ever see that list.

I think the solution needs to be to kick players of they're afk for more than a round or two. I've had games where one or two of the players leave but leave the game running so they don't lose karma and the other players just have to wait for their turn timers to count down each time which drives me nuts.
