Slitherine

This is regarding a question raised in the FoG forums which was suggested be brought here.

viewtopic.php?f=534&t=99892

As the OP noted, as as a player in MP games myself, I have seen:

- there doesn't appear to be any way to kick inactive players, unless that happens automatically?
- and what if the players all decide to move on to something else - can the host delete the game itself? Or does it just stay there eternally, auto-running turns for idled players until some sort of coding trigger kicks in to delete the game?

Seems there should be some sort of functionality added for FoG: Empires MP. Not sure how this is handled in other games using Slitherine MP servers. Right now, don't see anything.

Many thanks in advance for a reply.

Bump. Any chance for an official comment?

IIRC inactive players have a few turns allowed where the game progresses without then once they hit the time limit, then the system removes them from the game.

A player can take a turn every four turn just out of spite, and thus ruin the whole game for others, as the autokick won't activate. We *need* a way to kick out ruinous inactive players from MP games.
