Drop Games Awaiting Players After X Time Since Last Login

[Woodruff]

What if the player is just not logging in because he's waiting for them to start, or to get a notification from his email for when it starts so he can log in?

This is a VERY good point. I depend on that email to let me know when I've got a game ready. If a player has a large number of games going, this isn't an issue because they're always getting the emails. But particularly with a freemium where you can only be in four games at a time, this could really be a problem in auto-kicking someone who's really just sitting there waiting for the email to tell him it's time.

Concise description:

• After X amount of time has passed since a user has last logged on, the user should be dropped from all of their Awaiting Players games.

Specifics/Details:

• Could be enforced in all cases or could be an option with the default set to 'on'.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• This will undoubtedly decrease the amount of deadbeats in games.
• This will allow more team games with lingering freemiums who will never log in again to be filled with organized teams.

I did search the forums and found that this was suggested back in 2008 (http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=471&t=59434) with a 3 day time period. It seemed to get positive responses but was never implemented.

3 days may be too short a time period in my opinion. I might suggest a week or more possibly, but I think there should be a cap on it at some point. More than once I've been hindered from joining games needing players because of a freemium cook/cadet who has not logged on in months.

I like this.

I do think that 3 days is too short, though - I think a week is sufficient, considering the time to drop waiting tournament games was 15 days.

This should be merged with the other thread, if it still exists.

Also, I agree with the idea.
