Problem with Ejecting Commanders.

<div class="IPBDescription">Annoying problem with this.</div>I was playing a game and some griefer decided it would be fun to recycle all of the sentry turrets.

So people started to vote eject and got rid of him. But for some reason, I too got vote ejected and so did the rest of the team. No idea why people voted to eject the commander anyway.

Anyway, more to the point, when you get vote ejected you can not enter the command chair for the rest of that game. This seems fair to be honest, expect the fact that everyone on our team couldn't enter the command chair so we were left without a commander because no one could enter the Command chair.

This needs to be fixed.

    It's not griefing, it's called ending the turtle and not wanting to play a 2 hour game.

    If all recycling in progress are cancelled once an Eject Commander vote commences, along with a visible "Recycling in Progress" indicator on structures, the griefing problem would be a lot less severe, IMO.

    @TrueVeritas: 2 hour long stalemates may be boring, but that is just the current state of the game balance. The following game may end up just the same. I guess you did help free up time for more testing, by ending the game as such. However, I doubt you would like to see games end this way when your (Marine) team is winning. =)

    Why does everyone hate 2 hour games? It's so much fun to just play and play, I've even played a 6 hour long NS2 match, so much fun.

    Just saying Veritas was the guy that was recycling everything.

    2 hour games are boring because NS2 is quite boring. If it was more fun then I wouldn't mind it that much.

    Then perhaps you should bugger off and not play the game if you don't like it? Rather than deciding that everyone else on the server should start a new game because you threw a tantrum?

    Whatever, the point I am getting at is not griefing.

    I am trying to say that the game was annoying because everyone just got kicked out of the command chair and no one could go in it. That means there were no ARCs to end the game.
