KICKING AFKs in a TEAM GAME

There should be an option to boot players, like the once that never play, from a team game. So people pass a vote against a player and if that player doesn't reply he gets booted.

We have a good game going but there is an afk on the other team and it's screwing up their game...

The new RT game rules should get rid of this; turns can be set for 10 mins or so, so the deadbeater would be kicked out in half an hour.

See, then the problem arises that some dishonest players will vote to kick out the powerhouse player while he is afk in a non-rt game, and he won't respond and then he will get booted for no reason

No, everyone on both teams have to vote. So if his team votes to boot him then he is most likely not doing anything useful.

Most games aren't teams.

Well, it doesn't make sense to have it for non team games... one can care less if your opponent is afk because it doesn't affect your strategy...

Kicking afk in team games.

Player A is playing poorly, so his teammates boot him.
Player B is dominating the entire map, so everyone else boots him.
Player C misses a turn so they boot him.

If someone misses three turns, they are booted regardless.

You can't boot him if he replies...

1) you cast a vote to boot a player(A)
2) everyone votes
3) if the player(A) does not veto then he gets kicked

No abuse here.
