"Please Kick Me..." - Just Take Your Penalty

[Syrehn]

I'm noticing a trend where more and more players are asking to be removed from groups via Vote Kick so that they don't get hit by the penalty timer.

The Vote Kick feature is not there to help players dodge that timer so stop asking your team to use it to remove you from DF Dungeons/PVP groups. If you got into a party and you no longer want to be there then suck it up and take the penalty for leaving.

Telling your team "Please kick me please I don't want a penalty" is ignorant and inconsiderate to the rest of the group. Either give the party your all or get out on your own accord.

Do what I do and do nothing.
Once someone asks to be kicked, I just stop and /sit and wait for them to leave

You and the other party members can collectively report them. This is considered holding the party hostage (at least is what a GM called it when I made a similar report, except this was in T4)

I do put in reports when players pull this nonsense in DF Dungeons but it's a bit different when it happens in PVP parties. The party is more likely to just vote them out (this usually happens if the GC they are affiliated with is losing).

Regardless of filing a report or not, these players are still being disruptive and not truly being penalized. Maybe a 30 minute penalty timer should be placed on players who get Vote Kicked; this might prevent the requested abuse of it.

At least they ask for it.

I've seen my share of people sucking deliberately, or being rude so that people will end up kicking them.
OR people disconnecting and waiting to be kicked before logging back on.

I usually suffer their shittitudes because I don't want to give them the satisfaction. c.c


...then again, you won't ever see me vote kick someone because they asked for it. Nope. Nopity nope.

And here I thought the trend was to disconnect, forcing the party to wait and then kick you as soon as it is allowable.

I've had people do that even when (it seemed) they intended to step away from the game for more than 30 minutes. Worse is when they do it in the first couple minutes of a run, and you can't actually vote kick them until five minutes have passed.

I think there are right and wrong reasons to ask for a kick. If you went blind into content and keep getting whooped on, or dying, asking for a kick saves everyone hassle.

If you did roulette and don't want Steps of Faith, I say tough beans.

Sorry no, simply saying "I'm not ready for this sorry guys" and leaving on your own accord saves your team the hassle. There isn't a reason imo to ask to be kicked when you can leave on your own accord.

Doesn't the penalty leave after 15 minutes? So if it's past the 15 minute mark, just leave.
