Pretty simple. You have to get a certain amount of points per minute to stay on the server, or else you get kicked. This way people who want to build pixel art or grief instead of actually help their team will be kicked off, while the people that are actually playing the game will get to stay. I think something in the ballpark of one point every seven minutes would be ideal, but each server host would be able to set their own points/time value.

The ability to autokick bad players would dramatically improve server quality for players that don't want to play with autists and deuces. Of course, not all players/hosts would like this set up (since they are terrible) so there would also be noob servers to play on.

What do you think? Is this too oppressive and anti-deuce?

EDIT: I'm abandoning this idea, since most of you don't seem to like it. If the general public doesn't like the idea, then I don't want it implemented... even if I still think it's a pretty good idea.

To the last sentence, yes. Think of the people who build your bases, they wouldn't be able to!

That's a good point.

In that case, make points/time a calculation based on your total number of points over the total amount of time you have played. If you've been playing for fifteen minutes and have gotten thirty two kills, then you'd have a points/time value of 32/15 which would then be compared against the servers minimum allowed points/time value.

If the server minimum is 1/7 then a person with a 32/15 value could go three and a half hours without getting kicked! That should be long enough to build a base... although perhaps having 1/7 as a the minimum is a bit TOO forgiving.

^ wat

....I don't think anyones willing to program THAT. Especially in python...

This is a terrible idea.

Let me simplify.

if totalpointspertime < minpointspertime
 then kick

how about if you dont get a kill in 10 minutes you get kicked.

If you kick someone for sucking, then they'll never get better.

They can still play on servers that don't kick players for sucking.

What's wrong with preventing noobs from playing on a particular server? After all, if we force good players to play with shitty players, the good players are going to quit playing. It is endlessly frustrating to be on a team and watch half of them build a fort around the tent while the other half gets slaughtered on the front lines.

Because we shouldn't have some kind of tiered system for servers.

What's wrong with letting people exclusively play with other players at their skill level?

Seems a bit elitist. I have off nights every now and then, doesn't make me a bad player.

Bad player or not, if you're off your game then you'd just go play on a "lower tiered" server that doesn't have points/time restrictions. There's no reason to expect other players to put up with your poor performance just because you're having an off night.

what the fuck
this is like kicking someone for having too much fun
what if i don't feel like killing anyone but instead running around, building, or etc

this is like fucking making a global ban permaban system with random admins having the ability to add you to it for isolated one-time instances of grieving its an awf--

wait

or playing pokemon but you cant get your first from Oak because you don't already have all 8 badges

Lol Nidorino. Get in xat pl0x, we have things to discuss.

or playing minecraft but are not allowed to use more than 100 blocks in single player because the game hasn't auto-detected a good enough structure

>what if i don't feel like killing anyone but instead running around, building, or etc

Then get go play minecraft. You are actively hurting your team by taking up the place of someone that actually wants to play the game. While you're dicking around in spawn making autwork, the enemy is slaughtering your team mates and stealing the intel.

Players like you are one of the reasons I made this suggestion.

Because building forts and bases to protect yourself isn't helping the te-

Oh wait.

Also, Sham could add this to his server since he already has Deuces banned from it. Yeah, won't be long until everyone does the same thing. Awesome elitism.

(I believe it was Sham who made that script to do it)

You just got your best player kicked because he was trying to flank and capture the intel rather than camp and DM.

Some people are better at building forts than they are at shooting.

deuce: lol k i built a giant fort our team is now winning because of it but i havent got a single kill so now im gonna go kill gree- *kicked*

I can't think of a single time where building meant I wasn't getting points. The other team is constantly trying to bring your fort down. If your fort is close to the action you are going to get shot at and you are going to get a few points here and there. If you aren't getting shot at then your fort isn't close to the action, and if your fort isn't close to the action you're doing it wrong.

asdfzxc is the only one that actually managed to make a good point. Considering how long someone may go without getting a kill while stalking the enemy intel, there's probably a better way to do what I'm trying to do.

A good base has several layers of defenses, not just the front.

and this isn't about you, it's about the other people who do stuff differently to better help the team.

But like I said, I could see a few certain servers doing this *maybe*.

It seems like this idea is only really a way of reducing other people's enjoyment of a game when people have to meet a certain kill quota it becomes more like work.

slender how long have you been on the forums?

How about a forum bot that deletes bad threads
*points to this thread*

THIS IS A RUBBISH IDEA!!!! ace of spades is a action/building game if you wish to play an all action game then go and play battlefield play4free but if you want to play a action/building game the carry on playing ace of spades.

THIS IDEA SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED

people make defences and greifs the other team's building/defences there by helping there team.
if you don't think this then you have no idea what teamwork means

the only falt to the idea is the concept that the game is all about kills and only about kills like a CoD clone.
