Feature for BGA: Can kick offline players in accept game view

Post by Murrur »

Problem:
6nimmt (and other games that are very popular) have a problem: it's sometimes very hard to start games, if one player is offline or not responding.

When someone cancels and leaves, another player immediately joins in and there's not time to kick out the offline player. Accept game view appears immediately, sometimes in less than second.

The game ends up in loop where one player cancels and another joins and players can't start a game at all, because there's a player who is not accepting or is no longer even online in BGA.

Suggestion:

I suggest adding [kick player] button/link to profiles, who have not accepted game, if they don't accept the game start in certain time period, e.g. 10 seconds. This would return game back to looking for players view, but without the player who is not responding. The kicked player can join the game again later, when they're back online and are ready/able to press Accept button.

Then in popular games someone else would fill in the seat and the active players could start playing without waiting for the offline player to come online or exiting the game completely.
