Those who are jerks and why they would be

[godest]

I must admit I've seen so called "professional" KaM players be rude and non-inclusive to less experienced players too. If you've organised a game and are waiting for another player that's fair enough, but you can just politely say "sorry we're waiting for a friend", there's no need to treat people like idiots because they are not as good at KaM as you are. Most situations can be resolved politely without offending anyone.

The majority of players are really nice but there are one or two who can be very unpleasant if they take a disliking to you for whatever reason. I'd say some people think they're important and take themselves too seriously.

Don't be put off by it, they're no more important than you are despite what they might think of themselves

I agree, some people are jerks who think they are so important, and also when those kids are kicked they often cry too.
infact there is this one jerk named Matt who always kicks people for NO reason ALL THE TIME, and I THINK he is a jerk , I mean WHY should I be kicked ,
Matt should not be able to kick anyone as host and he isn't allowed to play with who he wants.
Its whoever joins has the right to stay, even if that slot is reserved for one of his friends!!

About hosting. I think the role of host was made for these purpouses:

- To moderate a lobby:
1) To help players choose a match up (1v1,2v2,3v3,4v4)
2) To ask everyone about map and decide wich map and terms of playing is likely for all participants
3) To make equal teams
4) Techinical functions: setting peace time, etc

- To kick people in situations:
1) He/she behaves rude, using hard language
2) Doesnt want to change rude behaviour after player/players ask him/her for it
3) You asked someone to leave because you are waiting for friend/more skillfull player, but he/she isnt going to leave a lobby.
4) Person is afk for long time

- To prevent/solve conflict situations (wich is everyone's duty in my opinion)

So if you are the host your duty is to help, not to create everithing for yourself. If we are talking about beta-testing then you need to test first all the fitures coordinator asked you too, and then making fun for yourself.

I agree with most of what you said here

5) To kick somebody in the interest of the majority of the lobby.

EDIT: Only leaving because of Michael!

Michal could have been in this topic as well. leaving mid game and as far as I know its quite a bad player.

I heard that he isnt such a bad player. Only a big fan of wine

Bad for you or bad for us?
That's the question.

[Da Revolution]

Bad for the game. Watch the replay of tVoD2 in the multiplayer topic and you know what I mean.

[Shadaoe]

Aha, michal does cities living with only wine and camps, so I can understand why Chaos left.

[sado1]

I think I even screenshotted him once at Border 4p but forgot to paste it (I'm not sure anymore if it was him, but first he made 3-4 winefarms, then 3-4 cornfarms, then tried to reach the iron in time )

[Da Revolution]

He is by the way quite rude...Lewin can approve that

[Lewin]

Yeah MIchalyoutube was quite rude and a bad sport last time I played with him. He build about 12 winefarms and only a few other buildings, he seemed to be purposefully messing around and not trying, it wasn't just that he was inexperienced. I wouldn't really blame someone for leaving if he was their teammate and the opponents were doing well.

After few minutes (everyone had school then) he spammed me and szwarc (and Luki?) with building plans, then quitted Can't be sure it was him to be honest but I'm reporting it... any way to confirm it, and hopefully listen to his version of the story?

Happend to us too not sure if its him though, you should really get skype to confirm the players youre with.

[EDMatt]

im not saying u should use skype everytime, i am just suggesting a method of some sort to varify the players u are playing with, also on aside note , Lewin, how is it that i saw a guy with no fag join our lobby? I belive his name was "..."?

I'm not sure what your question is, can you rephrase it?
