    So was I right about this then? ^^

    I really don't think its a good idea. Some games are okay to be booted from, only to rejoin 10 minutes later, but empires matches are different. It will always manage to be the guy driving the APC rush, or the commander as he steps out of the CV, and when they join back again they won't even be able to get on the same team again half the time.

    Besides, the people on that list don't deserve the ability to bootkick someone else off. I'm a vet according to this, and I know I don't. Hell I probably won't even be booted because I have a good internet, but its still a dumb idea, no offense.

    Does the reserved slot system prioritize kicking?

    Like, 90% of the time, unassigned players are kind of just chilling afk. I usually boot a handful to make space when the server is full.

    Have it kick only people who are not in the group and in spectator. I don't think anyone would have an objection to that.

    On a side note, who are half these people in this group?

    I've been playing since this game released to public. I play for about 1 or 2 games a week on the weekends(college sucks). Not sure if any of these officers know me to know if I count as a veteran. Not really sure if anyone knows me since I play by myself(my clan doesn't play this). Go by the name of |GC| Avneet

    If thats you, you're more veteran than most people on the steam group.

    (I have logs from the old official Empires server, that ran from 1.0 till 1.07).

    Why highest ping?

    And in general I think it's a bad idea to kick playing players. Unassigned players would be ok. But already spectators are critical.

    Personally I don't know why we need this. If the server is full I join another server. And when I really want to join one single server I just enable autoconnect. Usually this takes only some minutes to join.

    Needs more long join time/low score. Unless you can distinguish unassigneds easily.

    It's not that the idea is terrible, it's just that we know the Empires community and almost everyone who plays on viper as a vet will book a reserved slot and you will get 78 people in the group. Then when the server is full, about 10-20 of the players will get switched with people who have reserved slots.

    Well recon wanted to show appreciation to his penis size.

    2.1 is best version ever then he says he plays for long time bla bla. Only consistent thing is him calling himself better/more important than people who just joined. Some people had ideas like restricting access to servers based on some global play time. Such people should be shot at sight. (Trickster)

    Your in the wrong game judging by that screenshot, if you only care about kills.

    I did infact get invited to that steam group, but i declined. Lets not have newbs join and then be kicked, we need to show that the community doesnt shunt away new players, who could stop half of this lot moan about imcompetency if they could actually play and get better.
