Does anybody vote kick people in showdown?

Just wondering why.

 

I've had people vote to kick me just on the "switch team/get ammo" waiting screen, no idea why.

 

They had no idea who I was, nor am I "good" at all 

 

I've only had it actually go through, with kicking, once; as in other games of this sort, if one person

votes to kick then other's often blindly agree ("hey, must be a good reason I guess?")

 

 

I've only voted to kick someone once!:

 

It was when there was a daily to do something, with them

always being the top in these showdowns/whatever (the same female character)

This was kind of messing up the chances for other people, including me, ever getting

in the "top 3"(or whatever the daily was for.) Since they were doing it over and over (being in the top 3 or often "first"), it kind of seemed like "griefing"

since they would have completed the daily long ago.

I voted to kick them, with several others doing it at about the same time (so they must

have been noticing it too, so the kick easily went through.) Then more of us easily got the daily, even though we

of course were all strangers to each other.

Vote kicking somebody for playing better than others is some lowdown weak-ass bullsh*t

I'm only talking for those days when the top 3 spots are being won by the same couple of players after 4, 5 times when it's required as a daily (not that often) but if you want to interpret it that way, whatever...

I can suck at most PVP so I understand your reasoning, but if you aren't good enough to beat them, then you should move on to another lobby or find something else to do.  I would never punish someone for being better than me.

If they were playing the game as it was designed and they weren't going out of their way to ruin your experience, how does that "kind of" seem like griefing?   Daily challenge or not, vote kicking the person because he/she was better is closer to "griefing"   Consider that the person was enjoying the game they like to play, winning fair and square, and people kicked them out for no reason other than winning, thus ruining their experience.  Do I actually think vote kicking is griefing? NO, I don't.  But winning a match fair and square and other players not being able to win is definitely not griefing.

Occasionally I'll do it as well to players who are hogging the top 3 spots repeatedly when the general dailies list wants you to get in the top 3 because it's not fair to everyone else

 

Everyone should get a trophy, right?

In a manner of speaking lol.  Yes there are days when you can just go into a different Showdown to get top 3 but when it's a day with a very specific Showdown type you can't really. I don't do it all the time, just very occasionally. I'll not vote to boot anyone out as someone who has herself been voted to be kicked out 3 times from Showdowns over the last couple of months.

Hahaha. Yeah right. And after that really important game of 'Sarcastaball', both teams will eventually go out and have a humogous pizza together. Because we all know... no one should feel excluded!

I just love it

Races can be the worst for this...people will vote you out if you win.  I have been successfully kicked out of several races.  If you suspect the lobby will vote you out, its good to select the 1st person on the players list to kick immediately.  Only one person can be voted out at a time.
