We have had some confusion/bad manners about the draw rule lately when most of the people wanted to play the game on after someone disconnected but then wanted to draw anyway because their send failed or something.
Currently the rule says that if someone disconnects for what ever reason before lvl 20 has ended, you have to draw (as most rules this can be changed if everyone in the game agrees to not draw).
Now I was wondering if we should change this so the team with the one disconnecting alone can decide whether they want to play on or not (note that all players of that team would have to agree).
I think most games with a DC would still be drawn, BUT the team with the leaver could decide to play on when they had a huge advantage or if they already sent and expect the other team to die on the next level, in which case not drawing imo is fairer.
What do you think? Are there any disadvantages with this change?
Note that with this change:
- Nothing will change for DCs after level 20.
- Every player of the leaver's team has to agree to play on, one saying he wants to draw is enough to make it mandatory.
- Once decided to be played out, a draw can't be enforced anymore (unless someone else also disconnects).
- If a game is not drawn, you can't request a DC penalty (as it already is).
I'll wait with my vote to see some arguments for/against this (but you can change your vote anyway).
