Please keep it at 10 players. Until Blizzard improves the rather shitty code that runs bnet 2.0 I'd rather see the limit at 10. The extra four players usually don't contribute much to the average game anyway. Also, what does the game do when you kick someone? With laggy players the game says it kicks them but they often times hang around for multiple lag boxes before finally getting kicked. | ||

With kicking, yeah it's weird but when you tell the system to kick a player, it *still* tries to contact their game client to let them know that (I'm assuming) and so you have to wait another few seconds if they are lagged out. I wish it would just cut their client and continue the game without lag, but I don't know how the internals work with that so it may be impossible or difficult. For now, I switched the message to "Player X is being kicked" instead of "was kicked". | ||

He'll get a popup saying he got kicked, but he actually needs to click it to disconnect. Not 100% sure on this, but I believe that's how it works because I've seen 1 very persistent asshole who continued lagging for ~2 minutes until he finally was dropped by the blizzard drop function. Don't think there's anyway to fix that though. I have been booted before due to the random 14 player lag, so I would like to keep the 10 player limit. (People go on witch hunts, banning random people at first faceoff) And on that topic, no, you do not have to click or do anything, you are sent to the score-screen after being voted out, no action required. If someone is remaining in the game it would seem that it is just a function of lag. | ||

I always thought that if a player lags when there's 14, they'll still lag when there's only 1. If you go directly to the scorescreen after being booted, then I have no idea why that residual lag occurs... | ||

This would be an awesome way to get a ton of games on them really quickly against a bunch of different players. | ||

The league issue has been covered multiple times in this thread (tldr: bnet does not provide access to league info, which is why I have to ask). The Peep rating system is based on Sonas rating system, which is not meant to be reset, but is meant to approximate one's skill within the global population of players. As time goes on and more players play each other, the figures become more accurate. Your Peep rating could theoretically approach 2400 after playing several thousand games and winning against the best players. This takes a long time. Hence, I have no intention of ever resetting the Peep rating...players should just keep working on it. Eventually I may add a mechanism to see your overall ranking by uploading your bank file to peepmode.com. I am looking to improving the betting system to make it more engaging. The bling section does get updated periodically with new items and that will continue in the future, especially with HotS content.  Is there a place or a way we can check our rating? Also is it possible to reset your rating? Thanks for creating such a great map. | ||

I haven't modded anything since like WC3, but I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. The only thing that comes to mind is perhaps the restrictions of the map size... but other than that do you think it is possible? | ||
