🖼 image no longer available




So, the kick function is pretty self explanatory. I feel that it's necessary because when you ask someone to leave, sometimes they get offended and won't leave until you are forced to make a new game, or when someone is AFK and you're trying to start the game. I feel it is helpful whether it's intentional or accidental.

Second, is the color choice. I'm getting tired of people complaining when you choose your color, I understand to get the color you want, currently, you have to leave and remake/reenter the game, it's a nuisance for everyone. Not only that, it bogs down the chat room with unneeded gray text and makes it harder to read when someone is having a conversation.

Good idea Brian, abd fabulous picture. I don't know how you get them so perfect every time. The kick function may cause problems, because the newbs would only play other newbs, and kick the top players out. Most top players don't play newbs anyways, and visa versa. It would kind of suck to get kicked for no reason though :?. I don't see how the color picking would have any problem though. It already happens, sp this would just make it easier. Hope this comes around!

@ nate

a lotta ppl dont really abuse the kick function. If they kick, then thats one less player in their game, and in most cases ppl would like more players

Brian, thanks for the screen shot and the explanation. I could do that easily in the short term as chat commands. Changing the game will take a bit longer. Would the chat commands be useful?

the chat commands should be reserved for mods and should be placed in the chatrooms only. If adding the kick function takes too long, then you can add the chat commands as a temporary fix, but if it would only take a week or so, then I think we could wait.

Nobody has this on their iDevices yet, it hasn't been put in the game yet.

It would be up to whoever the host is as to who they want in their game. It would be at their discretion and they deal with the consequences, no matter what they are.

@Trine

"a lotta ppl dont really abouse the kick function" because a lotta people, and by 'a lotta people' I mean 'everyone', don't have it yet.

It would be for anyone who joins the game, the 'host' could kick anyone out he/she wants to.

I think he meant to put it in futrue tense form, not present. But yes, I guess a lot of perople wouldn't you use it, because you want to get as many people as possible in your game.

The way I see it, this would be an easier way to choose teams on 2v2, which any registered palyer who has ever played a 2v2 map, including me, has done. This would be used for that more than geting rid of pesky anons, but by that point anons may be gone anyways (hopefully). Coming across something where someone is AFK while waiting for a game doesn't happen very often for me, but it is annoying. Being a major 2v2 fan, I think this would be awsome.

well, less text more pictures.

aka: remove the kick button, but change it into a picture, and for the colours too. you will see your colour to the right, and you can change it once you pressed on it.

Thanks, I have to rebuild each button every time I use it, they take forever especially when I try to get the text on it.
