[Snowman Survival] Quitting and how to solve it

[Sophie]

Context:
Quitting is a problem. See, when the first Snowman isn't killing people, they're usually not having fun. If they're not having fun they'll simply leave the game, which then somebody else is automatically assigned. Nothing is more "REEE >:U" than becoming the lone snowman to no fault of your own with twelve seconds remaining, where by that point, the game is totally unwinnable.

Suggestion:
The short and sweet solution to this is to have the game automatically end if the only remaining Snowman leaves with less than sixty seconds remaining. All remaining survivors will receive their medal for surviving until the end, but will miss out on any other remaining medals they would have otherwise gotten. This is to prevent quitting for an advantage.

TL;DR I guess:
For every tenth win or so to be made harder for you, by assigning you as the replacement snowman with only two minutes to go, is fine.

For every tenth win or so to be stolen from you through no fault of your own, by assigning you as the replacement snowman with thirty seconds to go, is not fine.

I only played it once, because I don't like it. But good solution! +1

Good solution for leavers. Good idea. ;)

No.
That's not fair.
I don't want another balancing system
If they do this I won't play anymore cause that just ruins the game.

It's not a balancing system. It ends the game instead of moving players to the other team for no reason.

Restructured the thread to avoid confusion.

I think that the Game should end when its only 1 minute left And t'he snowman leaves; but if t'he snowman leaves on the 1st Min of the game, it should assign somebody else.
But i like the idea : )

I don't think they will do anything more to the game, it's not going to be around for long.

True, but they might choose to reinstate it at a later date :)

It's a lot more unfair to be turned into a snowman when you're 20 seconds away from winning. This has happened numerous times to me, @Snodia and @Tacosbefriends .

I think a good solution to this is to give snowmen a bit of an incentive to play, being opportunities to get medals from things other than just kills.
I've noticed that the leaderboard players other than me and Tacos instantly leave when they become snowman, which is mainly because it really isn't going to give them any gain hahaha, meaning that it isn't worth their time.

I think quitting when you die in a game like Snowman Survival is in a lot of games.
I think this is also a good idea to use instead of if someone actually has to AFK for a bit rather than "Im bored"

Think of those kids who don't have computers, or minecraft, be thankful people!

I like this idea it’s simple. (I haven to played the game yet though)
