Yesterday we had a player that joined and 1 round later went AFK for the rest of the 6 rounds of the map.  This is very frustrating especially if that player is on the losing and already short 1-player side.  

I played on a server, that after a player went AFK for 90 to 120 seconds, the player got auto-warned by B3 and after 3 warnings got auto - kicked.  Is there any thought on something like this? It would be nice to keep the game fair when no admins are around!

Yes Joe, there has been a lot of thought about this very situation. The slow part to fixing this problem is figuring out the code that is active during this situation; then considering the possible options; determining what we think is the best option; rewriting the code; testing the new code under controlled conditions; maybe fixing the code again; and finally publishing an addition to our mod.

Sarge is working on a change to our B3 code that will allow any admin to bump a player to Spectate. Changing B3 to recognize the proper situation and then move a player to spectate all by itself, is a 'whole nother can of worms'.

Progress in making changes to our code is always slow. We have one person who has syntax experience, one person who has somewhat of a grasp of the program organization, and one person who helps research and test.  Any changes takes hours of work and usually at a pace that is a couple of hours here, a few hours there, etc.  Then, if it doesn't work correctly in all test conditions, we start all over. Its not pretty.  lol  

One of the important things is our list of possible changes. We prioritize suggested changes. A few have been somewhat quick, others require quite a lot of research, some don't require much research but a lot of recoding, and some look like they would require a major rewrite of CoD or UO.

But we keep working the problems.  We'll get there.
