Name of the last player to hit "Enter"

After participating in numerous Lambda and BAF trials, it seems, there is always that slow 16th or 24th player who is holding the League during queuing into trial.

I'm suggesting to make this player's name known to the League, so the rest could mock them and abuse during the trial.

It takes a while for a trial to form so these character might have gone afk for a minute or two. No reason for people to get nasty with such a suggestion. People that lay back and do nothing on the trial should have their name announced to the league leader so that they can kick them.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

NO, no. Auto-kick isn't good. The league won't be able to mock them then.

Perhaps a label over their head for the duration the TF "Slow Reflexes".
And their name should go a particularly nasty colour.
And the mobs should jeer at them.
And a leaderboard of reaction times!

The fact you seem to genuinely think this is a good idea (I think, either that or you're a good actor) troubles me.

Some peoples rigs aren't as fast as others. They might have tabbed out for a moment if people are faffing around getting organised. They might have someone talking to them for a second IRL.

I can't actually think of any good reasons why this should be implemented.

How about the League Leader gets to see who has clicked ENTER and who hasnt?

I think he's being sarcastic, Techbot.

The devs should put in a badge for the last clicker so everyone can have a mexican standoff while the counter goes down. At last the badgewhores can participate in trupvp.

There should be a list of some sort at least so tells can be sent to the players who haven't clicked in. Being afk or checking email would be a downer for someone who misses the click-in window of opportunity.

Does it occur to anyone else that when the count is hung at 23/24 or 15/16 that perhaps everyone has clicked enter and the delay is due to the servers building the instance for us?

If this is the case I wish the devs would change the message from 23 of 24 to "Creating instance" or "Transferring to BAF" or some such.


Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.

I think people have learned what an awesome griefing tool it is to make everyone sit there... and wait...

Totally with you on that one. In addition there should also be a kicked from task force or trial badge and an Ignored by X number of people badge.

Sorry that I'm bein a jerk. I am just trying to get badges.

On teams where I know pretty much everyone and they all pay attention we log in right away. 4,12,18,23,24 poof. On random pugs there is almost always a wait. The loading screen is what you see when the servers are building the instance.

As a badgewhore who's killed hundreds of people in "trupvp" while working badges I always get a good chuckle from the gross generalization that "all badgers are carebears". Actually that silly assumption helps me in PvP because most "trupvpers" fatally underestimate my ability to quickly smack them down. lol.

Anyway, as a more serious suggestion I'd at least make the queue popup continue to make an annoying noise to alert a possibly AFK player that they need to push a button. Right now when the queue popup come up it only makes one little "ping" and then goes silent. If the pop-up kept making a constant noise it might be able to wake up more people who've dozed off waiting for these things to start.

I'm sometimes amazed how many good quotable lines there are from that movie.
