IDEA: joining in kicked player's place

[Stratego (dev)]

I hear many voices about kicked players, and unfinihed and abandoned games.

Q: would that be a good feature so on kicking a player you can set
a) be AI
b) the player slot should open to someone else, so anyone can join in his/her place.

so he can ontinue the game playing that player.

what do u think?

A: joined players may dislike what'd they see, like different play-style, losing position, and may they don't know what the ex-player planned to do.

[Hyuhjhih]

A , better
B, bad
C, increasing the skip before kick to 4 or 5. Good
D, letting the kicked player rejoin whenever the game is still active. Best.
E, a penalty for active players on kicking inactive players like, a gem or two in bet games, or a few hundred xp in non bet games. Better.


I think these will reduce the malpractice among the new comers to forcefully or dishonestly kicking other players.

A. Good.

For me A usually is better because in most cases if player was kicked than he would become in not so advantageous position.

i did not ment "a" and "b" as options to select here in discussion.
but the player woud have option to chose right on kicking someone.

so i only need one answer here: the the question: would that be a good feature so on kicking a player you can set either to be AI
or the player slot should open to someone else, so anyone can join in his/her place?

Could it be both?
Like the player that will resign shall be able to choose what happens to his/her units.
And I think that if a game has a player with a skippable turn time of 33 days, the player that is still "active" can choose to either wait for the other player (if the other player said that he/she shall be gone for a month or more) or the game is really abandoned then the enemy player shall be an AI.

aaaaa

yes! BOTH kicking user can choose what the kicked player to turn to AI OR open slot.

Like the player that will resign

no this is nothing to do with "resign", this is about kicking

And I think that if a game has a player with a skippable turn time of 33 days, the player that is still "active" can choose to either wait for the other player (if the other player said that he/she shall be gone for a month or more) or the game is really abandoned then the enemy player shall be an AI.

this exactly works like this currently.
