Too often I see a teammate quits after losing the 1st cap, then another teammate quits right after b/c the first one did. I would like to be able to tag notes to these players after they quit, and avoid playing with them in the future.
I totally agree. Ironclad-Craig suggested using friends only games, but that just is not a practical solution (he also did say there are improvements coming, so I am not putting him down or anything). I have ~10 good players on my friends list, and 90% of the time people will not be online, or if they are they will already be in a game. What we need is the ability to put people on a ban list from our hosted games, being able to add a tag would be icing on the cake. Quiters and people with connection problems only serve to waste 1-2 hours of time.
I am lucky in that a friend and myself usually play together, so it is not my teammate that quits. Right now we have a hand written reference list (its getting very unwieldly)of people who quit after agreeing both sides would use surrender, or do in-appropriate things in game (sexist or racist planet names usually). If 1.03 doesn't address this issue, I am starting to wonder about how will be have to deal with our growing list.
Part of the issue is the lack of choices when joining games, and I do not have a solution for this. No matter what we label our game room we get people with no completed games. Names like "2v2 Advanced", "2v2 intermediate", or "2v2No.noob/laggers" don't seem to make a difference because people look for a game and they see 3-10 mostly friends only, not set to fast, or passworded. Ours is often the only game people can join. Lately, we have started trying to screen people without a few completed games, but man that just plain sucks to have to do, for them and us.
