»Vote to Kick/Vote to Force Start [Anni]

Hello everyone, it's your boy Scruff! <3

Today I have some fantastic idea to share with you all and I hope you appreciate it. <3

Before I'd like to introduce my idea, I would like to give credits to maxwellx for helping me out with this sort of concept that should be implemented on the Annihilation server. This concept may be similar to the voting system of Team Fortress 2 or many other games.


The concept/idea that I want to suggest in the Annihilation server is for everyone who can "vote to kick "or "vote to force start the game." First, let's talk about the vote to kick.

Why should we have a "vote to kick"?

-For starters, many people of you may know that there have been many hackers in anni recently. Hacker may it be or not, people do also tend to troll in game or in chat for their own purposes. Some players may also go AFK/idle during in game and that's why I came up with an idea to at least have Annihilation a voting system wherein a majority of people could fairly vote to kick/mute a player in the game. It's true that mods might lose their purpose at some point but this voting system could really impact everyone in the game, making it useful when no mods or admins are online.

I'm pretty confident that this idea could help people and the game to be fun, enjoyable, and at least balanced. Now moving on to the "vote to force start".

Why should we have a "vote to force start"?

-It's true that the population of anni players have been decreasing, but that doesn't change the fact that other players still enjoy the game and would love to play more. But sad to say, only few play the game already even though it does take 16 players to start a game. So I came up with another concept to have a "vote to force start" the game with atleast a minimum of 12 players. This type of vote will only appear if there are already 10 players in the game/lobby.

I haven't given much thought about this second idea but I do think it would be a pretty cool concept to add so that anni players could play without having to wait for players and inviting them for about 1-2 hours.

Let me know if you guys agree or disagree with me ;-;


Well I guess that's about it. There are many things that the voting system could do and I don't want to tackle all of them (because I'm pretty lazy myself) but in genereal, the whole voting system could be a big feature that might not be implemented in the near future. But... I do hope to see it someday


Feel free to leave your thoughts, comments, and suggestions about this thread. Love y'all <3





hehe xd

 

I disagree with the kicking system, because if there's a good player/rusher/farmer in a game, others will vote to kick him, make him lose his stuff, etc. It can be very easily abused. Also, the force starting thing isn't correct in my opinion because 12 players are way too less for an anni game. Sorry, but this is a -1 from me.

 

Yeah, I thought so myself. This idea wasn't thought out very well though but with just enough tweaks, implenting this sort of system might possibly affect anni in a good way.

But yeah, also think that this idea wouldn't become that useful and could just get removed in the future, if implemented.

I -1 myself xD

 

Doctor is right, we can also just kick a player everyone hates...

 

+1

GOOD.

 

-1
for Doctor's reason

 

Yeah I thought the same thing. So it's a - 1 from me too, sorry!

 

+1

 

-1 on both ideas

Team trolling is bannable, so if someone is team trolling (or hacking), you can record and report them and they won't be kicked for just the next game, but for a long, long time That, or try contacting an admin on discord to see if they can hop on and deal with the hacker.

For the second point, simply forcing the game to start with a low player count is not a solution to the low player count. Games with less than 16 players are usually unfair and boring. There are other ways to lower the number of required players to start while maintaining the game quality, like having 2-team games which would only require 8 players to start.

 

I agree with you, and here's my reason:

/votekick Maksimus
(NOTE: I do not hate Maksi nor do I worship him, it's just that he's usually OP in both gear and skills)

Despite that, we still need ways to kick team trollers faster; it usually takes 5-10 minutes for trollers to get warned or kicked (prop because the mods are not on or in different teams) and during that time they could do anything from wreck a skybridge, spam water buckets all over the place, and perhaps even wire a dispenser trap.

 

The 2 teams idea was mine but you said it would not be acceptable because the game will lose the point of defending and attacking. So the 2 teams idea is completely a no?

 

Two teams games is actually something we are planning on doing. We won't however make a 1v1v1v1 gamemode as you suggested, because of the attacking/defending problem Jono told you about on the last thread.

 

When I said 1v1v1v1 I ment the 4 team gane that I running right now. My suggestion was the 1v1 game (I mean teams again) read my suggestion again and more clearly

 

yeah no a neg 1 for me sry. like doctor said, ppl can just vote to kick good players. there use to be that on another server i used to play and it got removed cuz it was abused.
