Point Stealers

[Iainarm]

I played a six-player doubles game, and my teammate deadbeats early and gets kicked out, leaving me almost defenseless against two powerful teams . Then, I thought I was beat, but played the game out and ended up killing every single other player in the game and winning. Thinking I would get the 88 points for winning the game (which would promote me to the next rank) I was surprised to still be a Private. Then, I saw that my teammate got half of my victory points, leaving me only five points away from being a Sergeant. Is there any way this can be stopped, so that people cannot take points for other people's skill?

No

not at the moment...they are working on something so that newbies can't join doubles and triples games...but other then that, no

This isn't a suggestion or a bug report. Moved to General Discussion.

hm, how is that fair though? I mean he did most of the work, furthered by the fact that his teammate deadbeat so he was playing with a whole player's worth of armies less. It would be quite an achievement to win a game that way yet the deadbeat guy still gets points? Just for deadbeating you should get some sort of penalty. I mean sure there are real life reasons for not being able to take your turn but that doesn't mean they have to be rewarded for not coming back to a game. IMO this needs to be fixed.

You get the deadbeats countries and armies, so its not entirely useless.

You can win some of those, depending on the other teams.

I just hate winning those games and losing half the points. So that part is rather unfair, but know to us all when we join team games.

If you see a ? run far far away
