and just got vote kicked off the only populated server that doesn't lag for me, here with my crappy wifi connection
. I used to absolutely love this game and I appreciate all the time the devs put into such an ambitious project to provide it to us leechers for free. However, I think the current voting system needs some work. I cannot recall how many times I've been kicked out of a game, simply for killing an overly obnoxious player. I don't consider myself a particularly skilled player, so I consider it somewhat of a compliment when I am accused of cheating. Also, I can only guess how old a player is when he calls me a 10 year old, or constantly directs insults at me consisting of the words 'nub' and 'fail'. I should let you know I stay silent in most games, so I have no idea how people turn so hostile towards me. I play Tremulous to take a break from the shit in life, not so I can argue with children. So this bashing is always one-sided before I am kicked. Normally, this would not be a problem for me. There are plenty of great servers to join, but like I mentioned earlier, due to my horrible connection I have only access to a small number of servers, even fewer of which are actually populated. When I am kicked from the server for the regular half-hour, that for me kills all the time I have in the day to play. I understand there may be no definite way to prevent vote abuse, and the system does work to solve a lot of problems in the first place. So instead of that, I thought mic implementation would be a great addition for the next patch. I'm not very computer savvy so I might be underestimating just how difficult it would be to add such a feature, but it would certainly improve teamwork in public games, make things more fun, and help people like me have a say against vote abusers. So any thoughts on this? If its not really feasible I can understand.
