Topic: inactives rejoining

How annoying aint it when you have 2-3 inactives at sor or whatever time of round, and you kick them out to get some new players in so you have a chance to compete and then 1 or maybe all of them inactives REJOINS your family again, and STILL remain inactive. (?)

Anyway, my tought is there should be some sort of adjustment so that players can't rejoin the same family they originally was placed in when getting kicked out.
If other families are full after they got kicked out, they simply can't rejoin in that galaxy until there are space open in some other family.

I have seen this happen alot, and ofcourse its the bottom fams that has to struggle the most whit those players who "needs" to random in a top 3 fam to even play the game. They join, go inactive, getting kicked out and then rejoin thinking there's a spot left in #1 fam but there ain't and they land in the same fam they left..

And im sure this idea has been brought up before smile


toughts?

Re: inactives rejoining

This would be useful.  Not just for inactives but also for people who intentionally get killed off for whatever reason and don't want to come back again with the same group of players.

I'm going to add this to my list.  Good idea.

It somehow used to be that way.
But it got so horribly abused by the players to get into the "right" family...

Re: inactives rejoining

That's a good point, we'd need to make sure that players can't just delete/rejoin over and over again until they land in a specific family.

Maybe instead of outright blacklisting a player from ever returning to a fam, it would make more sense to just make sure they don't land in a family 2 times in a row.  There'd still be a chance an inactive can come back, but only after they first land somewhere else and get killed off there.

Re: inactives rejoining

I agree with altruist, but if you are not planning on implementing stay in fam and reshuffling is still every round by the time they land into the top fam they have wasted a lot of time in the round to get there.

Re: inactives rejoining

I say that if you're going to do that pie, you should find a way to have them marked in the system. I'm sure there are ways for the system to notice trends in players and that way there should be something that pops up where they cant be killed off. They still get their 1 delete but thats that. A punishment of sorts? That way it can discourage further abuse of the system?
