Island Defense Community Update, !Draw?
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:05 am
"Further thoughts, it has been discussed that the lobby mutually agreeing to leave is ok. Similar to the !draw you guys use in other games hosted.In this case, are we still bound by the 15 minute ruling if a mod decides to review the game? If a single player decides they want to keep playing, even though 11 others have said they don't, and that ONE player requests they all get banned the way I did, warrant such actions?"
Followed by, "Literally 90% of games have some sort of concede option available these days. DotA2, League, Counter-Strike, hell, even other games hosted by ENT have a !draw or !ff command.
The rules clarification would for one, take us a step closer to this option being available, and two - Clarify what they mean." - Taken from the following threads.
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=129706 - Ban request regarding the stalling rules and worker block for builders
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=128756 - Suggestion to UPDATE AND CLARIFY the new builder leaving rule. It's worth noting here, that some mods choose to ONLY BAN THE FIRST THREE BUILDER LEAVERS, while others BAN EVERYONE THAT LEAVES PRIOR TO 15 MINUTES.
Examples of this:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=128740&p=500252#p500252 - This was overturned (which I was happy about) but everyone in this lobby got banned, and would have been banned had the original titan not left the game.

Edit2: Here's one where 4 people leave within the first 15 minutes, and yet only 2 get banned - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=129919 I recognize 3 of the 4 names, and the one name I don't recognize ended up banned.
In regards to the Island Defense community, on the topic of stalling and the new leaver rule (which I was not AGAINST, simply asking for an official clarification). I'm bringing this up, because there were in game situations not covered, that essentially contradicted everything talked about over the past month.
I would like to reiterate, I am not against the leaving rule. I think it has done good for the game as a whole. However, MOST of the community was for the update on only the first 3 leavers of the game being banned, as it was the original intention - To add a sense of fair balance to both sides when enforcing said rule. The suggestion was denied, even though it would have brought us towards adding the !draw command or !forfeit command, which was relevant in the above posted link in regards to stalling.
Suggestion TL;DR - Add some sort of !draw or !ff command, and situations similar to these are avoided* - and I'll stop giving you guys a headache.
Edit: Because I got called out on using the word "completely" when that's not exactly the case.
