Automatically wipe-core on an AI that's been disconnected for an extended period

[SierraKomodo]

Basically, to serve a similar function to removing people from cryo who have been gone for 15+ minutes. There's alot of AIs that will just disconnect and not wipe-core, leaving the slot taken but not actually used for a majority of a round.

I have a lot to say about this subject matter.

Ahem.

As for this thread, I would agree that a measure to keep AIs from AFKing for long periods of time. Since we can't catch it all the time.

I understand not having -1s, but +1s are just a quicker way of saying "I like this idea and see no problems with it."

But on that note,

I like this idea and see no problems with it.

Practically speaking, this suggestion appears

likely to fix a problem that often requires an

uglier approach. Why involve the staff when

such a simple solution readily presents itself?

Occasionally, however, I could see this kicking

normal, respectful AI players on a break. How

exactly would you set the timer you suggest?

I would rather add a button that allows staff members to force a ssd AI into the storage.

I think Alberyks idea should be expanded to print out a message in the admin log if a AI has disconnected and then again after 15min or so.

That reminds the staff online that there is a AI that is disconnected, afk or inactive and they can do something about it.

I prefer this solution, because it allows AI players to go AFK / inactive (with ahelping beforehand) for a reasonable time and they dont have to fear that they have been forced out of their slot by a automatic system in the meanwhile.
