Wishlist - Votekick for spies
« on: November 17, 2006, 10:13:48 AM »
Just as in the real WWII there are some people that will change country for the sole purpose of relaying information to the enemy, changing the course of CV's to their detriment, etc. When caught in the act, there is little if anything a country can do.  In real war, however, when these guys are found, they are shot.  I propose a feature to "votekick" a player from a country for a period of time no less than a day.  If a majority of fellow countrymen agree that a particular player is a spy, or by some other arrangement, the player is booted from that country.

It happened today and pretty much ruined the central battle. A knight changed country to Bishop, routed the CV toward the shore batteries, and ruined the attack, later he switched to Rook for the same sort of actions. Having a higher rank than the other Bishops, he commandeered the fleet and there was nothing that anyone could do about it.  Had we the feature of a votekick, we could have at least saved the fleet.  As it happened though, we ended up losing the fleet, did not gain the base we were attacking, and lost a port and another vehicle base besides.  It pretty much ruins the game when such players are allowed to take such advantage even if players know outright what is going on.

Hope this helps, and no I'm not mentioning any names.

As tempting as it sounds.. I don't think it's a good idea.

Bad idea...it would be used to grief those that don't play how someone would like them to.

I think you all underrate the power of software, abuse could easily be avoided by restricting the feature to people whom have changed country within the past hour. Right now, if someone changes country, they must remain on that country for at least an hour before being allowed to switch to another country. So, since spies change country to do their dirty work, they can easily be singled out in this way.  Anyone whom hasn't changed country hasn't anything to worry about.  Voters could be restricted to people that have been on the same country for more than a day or something.

I think you underestimate the little generals out there.


Say you have a guy that jumps sides to even numbers.
He just get done ripping up one of these little general missions.
He then check roster to see the side he just got done slapping around is low on numbers.
He jumps to that side to help out .

 Soon as the little general sees this he screams spy .
You guess what the little general will try to do.

Nope would still be better if HT made some way no control of cv for 1 hour after jumping sides.
