Seriously, today we had a guy on Leningrad who kept driving the Russian tank into the sewers. Over, and over and over.

This kind of **** doesn't happen as often as it does in other games, but it still happens.

I want to see an easier to use kick voting system, half the players don't even know how to kick vote with the current system.

Something like in America's Army would be great, where, to start a kickvote you just type votekick playername, and then all the other players have to do is hit f6 to vote yes. That's it (and it actually appears at the top of the screen, "to vote click f6".

this definetly needs to be implemented. but since TWI arent updating the game anymore, someone could make a serverside mod for this

That did kinda suck, what was the guy's name, pizza delivery then thompson. then Tom. Too bad you can't kickvote via steam id/ ro id. That would make it a lot easier without having to worry about the name change, in theory.

Did you tell him about it, so he could avoid it in future, or did you just wanna 'kick' him ??

Nah, this guy was doing it intentuinally. When he wasn't driving, the tank into the sewers, he would get into gunner position, and do nothing afterwards. We did pretty good without the tank for awhile there, holding off the axis from searchlight bldg, until they figured what was going on. The guy was kicked due to FF at the end of the round when he hopped in the tank again to run over teammates that were holding the bridge. All the while the guy was tring to blame everyone else for his missdoings.

one thing to add, for kickvotes ONLY YOUR TEAM SHOULD BE ABLE TO VOTE. the reason for this being that the enemy team will either vote no because they like you not having a tank, or not vote because they have no idea what that person is doing.

tbh I often find that an appeal to the opposite team for more votes will be met honurably, and I try to return the favour when I can.

I think I posted a thread like this over a year ago. A voting system where every player has to hit yes or no once a kick vote has started would be nice.

I know how to vote kick, so it is not a big problem for me, but yes, the way it is set up, it is cumbersome. You have to take time out of the game to go thru menu screens to do it.

No big deal at this point in the games life, but maybe something to take into account for the next game.

In other words, don't make it so easy, people vote someone off like lemmings just because they see a vote kick happen, but definately easier and less time consuming than it is now.

Well who needs a vote kick what so ever. Frequent a server that has admins on almost all the time.

Come on folks get on over to 2Manny's we have all the great custom maps, all the best mutators and have plenty of constant admins and some of the most skilled players...

I know - a shameless plug once again for the server. We have it all - come and join us. We need the targets... :):):)
