For non-clan members score is not taken into consideration. Been going back and forth with this for awhile here. Use score? Or just play time? Or if its weighted balance of both, what is the balance? There is no right answer to this but in the end something has to be chosen. Awards

Get the longest connection time of all the players in the server. Get the highest score of all the players in the server. When checking for a player to redirect - Normalize against the two highest values and add them together giving a players 'score'. Then simply kick the player with the lowest score. What do you say? .

I am torn between which deciding factor to use, I consider myself a decent player and one that would normally not be at the bottom of the list, but my honest opinion would be to redirect the player with the least time in map. I will keep getting redirected, no problem, it is a minor inconvenience for getting to play on good maps with great people.

Some make kills worth 100 points. Others make them worth 1 point. Is time more important? Or score? Should someone who played for 5 minutes and got 500 points (1:10) stay while someone who played 10 minutes but got 900 (1:9) points should go? What if the player who played for 10 minutes only got killed once while the other got killed 20 times? In short... no matter what I do you can take situations and say such and such player is better than the other. If not time, then score. If not score then K/D. And so on. Must also take into consideration classes. Given the same amount of time rushers generally get higher scores than snipers. If you take simple score into account, or a ratio of score and time, then it gives rushers an unfair advantage and says if you dont want to be kicked then dont be a sniper. Awards

That would be nice to know for sure, because I get disconnected and get a generic message about the game crashing usually more than once per day.
