1 minute timeout

[Brazzled]

Earlier today I was playing on one of your great servers. I had just made a iron sword and was in the last 4 people, but disaster struck when I randomly got disconnect with the "End of Stream" message. My suggestion is that if you leave the game, your character is still alive and can be killed for 1 minute. So if your crash, get disconnected or need to reload Minecraft to fix the inventory bug, you can do this quickly. I hope you consider this, or a similar option.

Thanks, Brazzled.

Someone already posted this idea. But i would really like to see this in the server.

That would be hard to code and tech stuff like that but sounds like a good idea.

I have seen servers with this.
So it is possible.

I support!

It can't be that hard. I've played on loads of busy servers in which when you leave, your spot is saved for a while in case you need re-load the server/Minecraft.

I just said your character should still be attack-able to stop combat logging. Maybe if you have only 1 minute. An example would be;
Player 1: Aw shizzle. I need to reload my client.
[Player 1 leaves]
[Player 2: Hey, he just combat logged!!!
[Player 2 kills Player 1]
Player 2: That'll teach him!

But people could abuse this.

But people could abuse this.

How?

 

[ArchetypeAmnesia]

Yeah they might abuse

 

[atticus]

Yeah they might abuse

Like I said, How?

and the only problem i see with this is that once you log back onto the game some one might take your spot and if you do successfully are able to get on then wouldn't you be a spectator?

 

[ArchetypeAmnesia]

actually i take that back about abusing but im sure they will somehow find a way

Well no... That's why your spot is reserved/saved until you log back in. If you haven't logged back in within the time limit, you get killed and loose your spot.
