New Function: Setup Time Votekick

[Inca_Killa]

Too often you will join a public game of MAFIA and find a troll who is offensive, spams chat, torrents while playing, etc. We have all seen it happen numerous times. Now this wouldn't be so bad if you could 1. Kick them in Lobby(public game) or 2. kick them ingame(my suggestion.) 1 is not possible because Blizzard are Idiots. 2 Is.

What I propose is add the ability to Votekick with 3/4 Majority on a player. This would be used to kick Trolls who continuously join games to troll. This option would only be available during the setup time, when host chooses the game type/roles.

Why its needed(short version):

Trolls will not just join a game once and ruin it, but multiple times. You cannot do anything about it currently and it wouldn't be so bad if all you had to do was ignore them. But everytime he is your sheriff or invest or doctor... OR even Mafia, its one less role you should have had but you don't because of a troll.

Please give back the power Blizzard so stupidly forgot to give us, the power to moderate our public games. We shouldn't be forced into creating slow and cumbersome private games just to enjoy a quick round of Mafia before moving on with our day.

Thanks for your time.

I can see this being used to kick hosts who make setups with Citizens etc instead of just repicking them.

Can't you just make it so 30-ish% of the town is automatically converted into Citizens? That way people can try their setup, but 30% of the town, no matter what role, will just turn into citizens!

IT'S THE BEST IDEA EVER

unfortunately I find this to be the lesser evil.

Either way with 3/4 requirement for votekick it would be hard to do unless a person was really...really annoying. Like trolls, for example.

The only way a host who makes a Citizen setup wont be kicked is if more than 1/4 of the players are AFK.

i dont think votekick is a good idea, some people are trolling for a reason i.e. jester or exec and u might accidently kick them.
BLUE: I SHERIFF RED IS MAF (spam 10X) , red dies and is doctor, blue now gets kicked even if it was his plan as exec or jester?
False positive will make it not worth it.
Until we get a better way to determine things i.e. towards the end of game or at end we find out that BLUE is actually a citizen doctor or etc and confirmed troll, by then some players are afk or left. That why i think we need mods in game, to warn people. And if you get 3 warnings or etc... etc etc

So dead town can votekick mafia? Awesome i always dreamed about it.

... The vote kick would only be active during setup time. AKA Before roles are doled out. If you don't catch the troll by then GG.


I really don't see people kicking civi hosts, they are already repicked and it works efficiently. Make repick easier to do and wolah, people won't votekick.
