Alerting players pre-sm kick
On a bit of inspiration, would it be possible to add a 15-30 second warning time for players getting kicked (Those of you who fly fully loaded transport choppers probably understand)
Just enough time to relay a final order or hold off on requesting that kit or some other action that. Or land a fully loaded huey before it plunges to the depths of Jabal's coastline.
I understand if not, but it would be really nice to have those few seconds to react.
(Searching "alert players kick" did not yield a thread with this suggestion.)Pride is but the prologue of shame.
Counsel without help is useless.
People despise and belittle the things they cannot have.

Re: Alerting players pre-sm kick
The programming for that would be too complicated, if not downright impossible.
It would involve somehow delaying the connection of the SM that is trying to join.
Even if it were possible, though, it would be unlikely that we'd implement it, as often the 2 'reserved' spots get clogged up with joiners as it is. Adding another 15 seconds (or whatever) would only make that worse.

Re: Alerting players pre-sm kick
It would be REALLY nice to have that instead of the "*pop* wth just happened?"
It would be nice to see when we're getting kicked.

Re: Alerting players pre-sm kick
Would it instead be possible to begin warning the player that they are the on who will be getting kicked when an SM joins? Say every 30 seconds spam chat with, "XXXXXX you are next in the queue to be kicked for a supporting member". At least they would have some prior warning about the kick.
"I am not an expert in anything, but merely a dabbler in everything."

Re: Alerting players pre-sm kick
Then they could just leave the server and come back to avoid the kick. The kick is all about ambushes, it waits until you're doing something important, then it strikes.

Re: Alerting players pre-sm kick
The warnings for the most part are random, from what i have seen, or it might be a random shuffle kicking those who have been on the longest. if you are not a SM and have been on for a long time (several hours) without a kick, and the server is at the height/time of SM's joining, then there might be that chance that you and other players are on the top of that list.....
There is a command that pops up on the screen and says "Player X you are being removed for a supporting member." Its pretty self explanatory, and it alerts you.
The problem with someone having an ample amount of time in my mind, will lead to people disconnecting before they disconnect, a way to somehow cheat the system......
If you have the means there is a easy way to correct the problem, and if not you can try to reconnect.
Last night a player in my squad was disconnected for a SM, and 5-8mins later he was back in the server....
The fellas at TG run a tight ship, and there are perks for being a member of TG and perks for being a SM at TG.
I've tried to Join the server in the past when its been full with 64 Supporting members....now that is a pickle let me tell you, and you have to wait until a slot opens, and then you have to see if you can be the first person in that slot........

Re: Alerting players pre-sm kick
Could you imagine all the non supporting members hopping out one after the other to avoid the kick. That'd be as funny as watching that video about the lemmings walking off the cliff... lol.
P.S. I solved my kick problem with money

I'm going to lock this - it isn't going to happen.
