Rant Time: Inactives

Sep 21, 2011 by MrEarl
So, I've been thinking. Why do a weekly rant post if things come up sooner? So whenever something is bothering me enough to blog about it I'm going to put up a Rant Time post.

In this second installment of Rant Time I'm taking on the idea of inactives.

In Fastings, Inactives annoy pretty much everyone. What if this was a solvable issue? I believe that tengaged should add a 'drop out' button before a game starts that allows someone to drop out of a game in case they have to leave. With many games taking hours to start (including frookies since one currently there has been up for nearly 12 hours!) people are sometimes long gone before a game starts. Instead of being able to fill this spot with an active player it is filled with someone who had to leave before the game even started. I know that I personally would rather wait a little longer but have everyone active.

There is also a bunch of people that go inactive in the middle of the game. This wouldn't be an issue if they didn't slow down the voting. What if an option was chosen where a player could drop out of a game, or if once a player has been inactive for more than 10 minutes the game no longer waits for their votes to be cast if they are only ones left?

Something has to be done about this Inactive issue, and perhaps certain measures like these could be done to help it. Let me know what you think, and if you have any other ideas that Tengaged can add in order to help with this issue please post them. Share this blog with your friends!

we actually kept inactives cause the actives are taking each other out. then they came back in the final 7 and stupid me decided to make a deal with them...guess what? they placed 1st & 2nd and voted me off 4th. I deserve that shit.
