fixing the dc penalty

[eldryan]

Obviously @art)y and @nabo. have had some painstaking discussions with LIHL members on how to fix it, but never came up with the most obvious solutions.

a. If someone dcs, use autoban formula.
b. If someone dcs, save game and remake it with same players 10 seconds later and continue playing where it left off.

Really don't understand why dc is an issue in this league.

If you suggest to apply ELO punishments (20 or 4 points), that wont happen.

that's what it is now?

For disconnects? No.

som1 said it worked before. couldn't you as an admin load the game with towers placed like that using -gold -lumber commands?

Regardless of whether it's technically possible, you should read this (http://codelain.com/wiki/index.php?titl ... aved_Games).

So you are saying what we had before is so far from good that you refuse to go back? Personally I think ELO penalty is working better than the 36 hours ban you give people now. I might have had a different opinion at some point (honestly can't remember) but I feel like ELO penalty is the proper way to go about it.

I like the elo penalty if I ever disconnect it will never be intentional and I could see me for somehow getting untouched from this.

As diablo already said, ppl shoudlnt get unvouched because of dc! 90% of dc r not players fault and they cant control it.
Only if no proxy ppl should get a heavy ban! =]

[aRt)Y]

We never wanted the unvouches. It's what you guys wanted - dont forget that.

Furthermore, it's not as simple as simply going back. It's a long term strategic move that we do not want to alter ELO anymore.

90% of dc r not players fault and they cant control it.

Whether that's true, we will see based on stats.

[eldryan]

Disappointed. I don't think people comprehend the suggestion of loading saved games as a realistic approach.

Basically, you would just need the map file, @art)y - can contact the makers.

[supersexyy]

Yeah so you can load the map between the game and watch it

fog would still be on, as I can see it. that's why players need to save from same team.

I feel that the elo punishment was far more successful. The other day achillesgr played for like 5 hours and got one complete game sadly ending in a loss. I have experienced a lot more draw situations since the change.

If you feel like there's no going back I vote that it shouldn't be mandatory to draw.
