Rage is banned for five (5) days.

Solution to those issues:

 

If the player doesn't respond to the bot every 15 minutes, the captain is removed and first offered to other people on the frequency, then to those next in line (if they're online).  There can be check points added to make sure captains are kept active or cycled through to the next person.

 

Sometimes at night there aren't 8 other people.  There might only be 3 from a squad and 1 more, and they are shit out of luck because of forcecap.  Forcecap was added to allow for squad practices, that's why it was only put into squad arenas.  Now it's just become a mockery.  There are literally two squads that monopolize the arena after 10:30pm central time and they aren't always practicing other squads.

 

That's not good.  It needs to be fixed.  Finding excuses or loopholes doesn't address the issue.  If people want to be so anal that they are switching arenas every single practice to keep playing the same people, so be it.  They're the ones that are going out of their way to do it, not the people patiently waiting in spec.  You're punishing the people that want to play because you seemingly do not want to change the set up.

And another thing, you're talking about very relaxed lag limits with laggers.  Obviously people are talking about the issues that are seen when Macuto is lagging to spec 15 times in a game and never burning items.  There should be a limit, like league.  Perhaps not spec locking the person forcing them to get a sub, but after 5 lag outs they need to have their items removed for no other reason than it being an unfair advantage (and that's not counting the lost items burned on them because of their lag, like having to rep after pb bombing yourself because of a skip).

A thought.  Maybe we make it so if you lagout you are burnt of items unless you have died within the last minute or within the first minute of the game.  So when you reenter it acts like you just Ship Changed, but haven't actually changed ships.  Then we could add like a max of 5 to 6 lagouts per game then they are locked out.  I think this would be fair.  I think if a person lags out 5 to 6 times they should not reenter unless they've fixed the problem.

[A Grape of Wrath]

How did he abuse?  Was this not done in a 4v4squad arena?  Caer himself has not denied that the "correct solution" would be to get people to switch arenas.

 

 

Which wouldn't happen.
