[Almonaster-list] Re: Restricting idlers

[Back S. <bac...@ya...>]

You can filter empires by IP (known idlers) or various
score values to eliminate likely idlers.  But there
are no guarantees, even with email validation.

I was in a recent TCBOO where I think 5 emps went idle
in the 70-150 update range.  Which is worse, having an
idle emp at the beginning or having your ally go idle
after 100 updates?

Idlers happen.  :-(   Sometimes real-life interferes
with gameplay.  Email will definitely help but not
eliminate the problem.
