Suggestion
Adjustable AFK Period for MTTs
An option for when the setting "Allow players to quit the game" is set to "Yes" that can adjust the time it takes to kick an AFK player at the start of a tournament from 1 minute to a maximum of 5 minutes. Currently it defaults to kicking an AFK player at the start of a tourney after just 1 minute. Real world circumstances should be able to be accounted for, as being 1 minute late is not really being "late" however, being 5 minutes late is definitely being "late". and the same goes for during games. A minute could be taken up by internet issues or a random phone call that you cant ignore. If AFK for a minute, it could be a number of things but it is no sign that a player wont return. However 5 minutes is definitely long enough to indicate that a player may not return. Having this setting be adjustable by the host will allow it so that in faster paced games where being a minute late or afk for a minute is crucial to others experience is not affected and having it be adjustable will allow for slower paced games to reap the benefits of kicking AFK players but with a bit more leeway I recommend a drop down menu labelled "Automatically kick AFK players within..." with 3 options "1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes" However an option to type it in manually is also alright! Thank you! Edit: If keeping track of time is too resource heavy then perhaps a feature that kicks "offline" and or "away" based on the number of hands played. for example a setting dropdown option that kicks players after either 2 hands, 5 hands, or 8 hands instead of minutes away. I suggest it because number if hands played is already a tracked metric Thank you!
