If an ally(ies) miss more than one turn, (or get booted for missing more than one) that the point penaltites that come from losing be deducted from that person (moreso or completely).
Why? Because during team games (3v3), a player cannot be held accountable if one or both his teammates miss all their turns. And thus he should not receive a penalty when he losses, and he will lose...he better lose...
Priority: 1.5

This is not a bad idea. It would definitely dissuade teams from using deadbeating as a strategic advantage (always have to think about ways game concepts can be abused), and if someone loses because their partner bailed, they shouldn't suffer necessarily. Their only crime was not having a regular doubles partner.
Of course, dunno if it's already been discussed. Too tired to search.

I say you have to be careful who you join up with or possibly suffer.

Sounds like it could be abused by multis. (The multi would deadbeat so the main would not use points...)

How bout they take a certain percentage for you team depending on how many turns they miss, and if they get booted, its all the points.

Just don't play team games with noobs. Then, generally, you are unlikely to come across a deadbeat - problem solved
