Today we had a guy that threw off our cages to deliberately provoke us to put him in the brig. I get that.
But for the entire time we played he was in the brig while we worked and getting our share of the treasure and loot and decreasing ours and depriving us of getting a new and valuable team member while they dont contribute any effort what so ever to achieving it.
We need a timeout for the brig, say 5-10 mins and if they are still there after that time then they are removed from the crew game and forced to join another.
This is not a hard code change to impliment and it just removes these game Troll/cheats from the game that want to level up with no effort while they go watch tv or do another game or whatever. There are times when people leave and you dont get a chance to fill in with friends, even if they are online and a random will be slotted in. Its how the game works. You cant force people to leave other than put them in the brig , but the post above highlights the down side.
