Allow rejoining

Q: In a game tournament when someone gets knocked out would they be allowed to rejoin and try again.
A: No

so why is allow rejoining on by default?

It's on by default mostly because there aren't that many open games in a lobby yet. In the future, it will be off by default.

Most people re-join a games just so they can go after the person who eliminated them, and it dosnt help when you do re-join you get crazy amount of reinforcement number. should be turned off IMO. The reason to turn it on is real a silly on, the players had there game and should not be allowed to join at all becuse of the reason i highlighted.


The player who does re-join is unlikely going to win and does re-join most cases to harass or in small games help another player gang up on another.

Rejoining is a legit option because people can capture your capital the turn you join and then you instantly lose. Now you might say thats just up to you to strategically select a country, but especially to make it noob friendly you should get an automatic rejoin if that happens (even if the option is disabled)- I dont know Ivan or Amok if it is possible for the game to detect that and work that way but I think it is a good idea. Sometimes theres only one game open in the lobby and if that happens youre SOL

Is that why you made the option to have private games?

You already had it, basically, when you set the joining week to 1 and quickly ended the turn. Just that now it's more straightforward.
