I am always on the game even though only just back and play for lke up to 16 hours a day as some people can account for. But if you are asked to help get a server up and running one rule should be that you don't go AFK!!!!!! By doing this not only are you letting people down but you are pissing people off!!!!!!!

With all do respect; Come back if you are cooled down a bit, maybe we can explain to you again what and why people are AFK in a server....... Without you anger raging at us..... I don`t like it when people leave TS while being explained something..... Edited February 11, 2016 by Jay80_NL Bor2013, nosleep, Sonovabich and 1 other 4 Awards

People join and the game begins. After one or two rounds there will easily be a dozen or two dozen players in and the few AFKers won't matter. kadaverke and Smurf|NL 2 Awards

I have actually on a few occasions been on it when its got running by the few active people then having more come on and its ended up full, then when its started with afk people its dies faster coz people aint active and puts others off playing it

Prior to that it does not and this is so they can help try to seed it. Pro's and cons exist for doing this of course but like you say, people will play if it's running. If it's not and no one is starting it, AFK is how we try to start it. I do this a lot to try to help start the US server because I am working and can't really play but the "hope" is that my filled slot will help start it and once it's going I drop out or get kicked if I forget too. That said, ideally we don't have a large number of idle people like 5+. I agree though that you shouldn't have to get suckered in to be the only true alive player but that's really when you can type in chat and ask if someone on the other team can switch or poke an admin to switch someone for you to try to balance it out. Basically we all hear you and it's not a new talk we're just trying to balance those pro/con of it. What you describe can become the con if not careful. When I am AFK I try to keep an eye and if I see I make it unbalanced I move myself to the other team so it will auto balance another player. Hopefully this all helps you understand. We're open to suggestions if you have some as well. Edited February 22, 2016 by B-Murda Smurf|NL and NWG_Feclez 2 Awards

I encourage healthy debate..... But this is just flogging a dead horse..... I expected this post to fade into the shadows in a hope it got forgotten Everything that has been said in these posts, both by members saying ''people do it all the time its fine'', and by admin explaining why its already well known about and it is encouraged, has been said numerous times now both in TS and here in the forums. As well as having a proven track record for being a big help so frequently when trying to start servers with limited people. Everyone knows about AFK'ers, the many pro's and the very rare con, and why it is not just allowed, but encouraged and thanked! And that has been explained numerous times, calmly and politely. The people who run these server's are well aware of people being AFK to help get a server running and they endorse it. And that has been said many times in TS and on this topic. There is nothing new being brought to the table so why is this still even being spoken about?? Unless I am missing some new info ? Edited February 24, 2016 by nosleep Smurf|NL 1 Awards
