    Because they'd never be able to even attempt to connect if the server is already full.

    3) Support game play in a near-simulation environment. Where the focus of play would not be solely on doing what it takes to win, but doing so utilizing real-world combat strategy and tactics rather than leveraging exploits provided to players by the design of the game engine.

    Re: Kicking for not being in a squad

    I just wanted to suggest something for the join squad script. I haven't been able to see it so I don't know if it encompasses this. What if the script didn't make any kicks until the server had a certain number of players. In other words, it leaves unassigned players in the game unless there were, say, only 2 slots left.

    This could be a generic script that enables all kicking scripts, including ping and idle.

    This is a poor idea. Being squadless removes you totally from the teamwork and chain of command, regardless of the number of players on the server. There's no reason not to be in a squad.

    Re: Kicking for not being in a squad

    Players who are not in a squad are unable to receive orders or communicate verbally with other players. They are not interested in teamwork, and are therefore not welcome on our servers. Therefore, there would be no reason to wait to kick them until the server was almost full.

    Wow you are seriously missing the point here. It's not about the points at TG. It is much better to kick the longest playing pubbie (me included) so at least you get to play a bit if you connect.

    Is this the way that the "kick for supporting member" currently decides who gets kicked?... I have often wondered if there was some kind of specifics to it or if it just randomly decides amongst the non supporting members.
