I had an ethical delimma today and had a new guy come in game with heavy weapon with no dmg. We were just 4 in game as no one was on. After 15 mins I had 300 actions and the new guy had none. I had some heals and it was pointed out that new guy was afk with ZERO ACTIONS and we had been in game at least 15mins. I decided after a very hard day at work that it was only proper to let him die and ordered everyone to the back row. James from Labby, a good friend, disagreed with me and said I should kick him. I learned this game the hard way and was booted from more games than I can count but I always tried. Maybe it was just my desire to persevere that kept me slashing and not give up that lead me to the decision to let the new guy die. I feel like he needed to learn a lesson as I couldnt see how he got to lvl 41 with that weapon unless he was being carried by more leet slashers. I am in no way implying that i am leet in any sence of the word but I wanted to know what some of the uber slashers would have done. If he would have at least clicked a few times this would not have happened. Please let me know if my actions were bm or acceptable so i can grow as a slasher.

Thanks,
Chip

I have had many encounters with this problem... to be honest it really depends on my mood.

On most occasions I will try to keep the person alive, that person maybe in the middle of something really important, their partner could have keeled over and he had to take her to hospital... or even their child... or he could have keeled over at the desk after someone hit him in the back of the head with the butt of a sawn-off shotgun and went along and raped his GF and ripped them off killing his children upon leaving the premises because they awoke to the commotion...

Think about it... real life issues may have taken over... either do one of the following.
1. Heal and keep him in team until they return or you HAVE TO remake
2. Kick him... run with 4.

Appreciate the input and will take it under advisement for next time. That was the recommendation from James but I was like if he never learns and leaches his way to mq when will it stop?

Im having a hard time opting on which to vote for. It really depends on the circumstance. If it is someone that is at least useful somewhat as a tank, Id say heal. At least for while. If it's someone who just wants to leech and goes straight to the back, kick. I dont think he planned on just leeching. He did take mid position. If he had planned on just going afk to leech, he would have taken the rear.

We're still buds tho. :) Nothing but nohomo love here. :)
