Ban 2023 (the player)

Can we please ban 2023 the player already. He always comes into games, goes afk, then sometimes comes back if his team is winning. He's done this for multiple days, multiple people have reported him. He's doing it right this moment in a team game as I write this.

He doesn't even have connection issues, his ping indicator is green. If you do have connection issues, just spectate and don't ruin the game for others.

Example:

I've seen him grow quite a lot as a player which is nice to see.

I don't understand why he does this either. I have not seen a game where he has not gone AFK.

quote: multiple people have reported him

This does not appear to be accurate, at least as far as reports for AFKing are concerned. I would like to see a few more replays to establish a pattern.

I'm not one to go out of my way to join a hate train but holy shit this player IS THE NEW Jee.

He makes me wanna kick him before the match even starts because I already know he is gonna do some dumb strategy and then resigns when his toy gets destroyed. At least Jee didn't have the AUDACITY to drag entire matches down ON PURPOSE.

I went to the trouble of specing 16 of 2023's recent games at 10x speed BY CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER I am not nit picking any "bad" games, these litteraly happened in sucession and as I am writing this I am specing a Teams All Welcome lobby where he is DOING IT AGAIN.


https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746667 - Rushes Djin, Factory dies at minute 3 because of it then he polls a resign vote, does nothing for 5 minutes, then makes a gs factory, rushes revenant and his factory dies again to moderators. His team tries resigning but now 2023 doesn't want to resign so his 2 team mates resign by themselves, 2023 then makes BLaNKMiND's commander jump in the water so he could drag the game ON PURPOSE because he is a mad little child. Sense the enemy team didn't have any underwater weapons the game had to drag on for another 5 MINUTES until they made ravens and an owl to kill his underwater commander.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746647 - Puts factory in the frontline and rushes tremor, enemy team quickly responds by raiding him, resigns by minute 4 after his factory is destroyed along with the newly built tremor.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746625 - He sneaked a wasp and created a spider factory in the enemy backline. This achieves nothing sense before any unit was produced his team already won without him.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746616 - Made a good play in the beginning killing enemy factory, does nothing the rest of the game and team wins for him.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746597 - Rushes newton ramp to launch REAVERS, donating metal to the enemy team ALL GAME.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746581 - Rushes Djin, Loses factory by minute 1:30 because of this and loses the Djin in the process, then tries again the same strategy and team resigns shortly after the second Djin is built.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746572 - Resigns half way through the game because his base gets raided at minute 10 after that he spams resign vote as spec.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746558 - Actually makes units and actually achieves a win where he participated the whole game. (*clap*)



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1746142 - AFK until minute 9:20 (team resigns 2 minutes after that)



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745911 - Talks nonsense in all chat then resigns at minute 8:30 for no reason (match lasted 53 minutes)



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745489 - Team keeps telling him to plop fac and make units, makes 5 slings and 1 phantom, at min 13 goes afk and when he comes back 1 minute later he just exits the game, causing the lobby to throw a kick vote which is sucessful and he is kicked from Teams All Welcome, his team wins because now they have the metal to do so. Everyone agrees in spec chat that he is a troll and does this very frequently.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745482 - Enemy team very good comentary about how 2023 is gonna troll already, game starts normally until he starts giving Mudosaka his units which Mudo keeps telling him not to, at minute 9 Mudo resigns because of his behavior, sense it was already a handicapped game and 2023 was doing nothing. After mudo resgined he decides to suicide all the units while rushing paladin? When his paladin is killed before it's finished he goes into mad child mode once again, doesn't resign and his only objective is to drag the match on for another 7 MINUTES, ON PURPOSE.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745372 - Actually makes units and actually wins. (*clap*)



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745351 - Makes no units the entire game, morphs com, when his com died to a jack he resgined.



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745329 - Only makes eco, when front collapses he polls resign. Somehow his team gets their shit together and manages hold long enough for 2023's eco to do its thing. (*clap*)



https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1745292 - Rushes Djin, loses factory at minute 4, for some reason doesn't instantly resign? Makes strider hub and an athena, manages to sneak athena to enemy backline and make a Djin, before it is of any use he gets discovered and after Djin is killed he resigns.

OK, noted. I will need some time to look at those replays and since this is a more subtle offence than "teamkilling" or "verbal abuse" I would prefer other moderators have input as well, so don't expect instant action, but it should not take too long.

2023 is generally just a really bad player. He engages in suboptimal strats and is an all-round team brick. I don't think he's trolling on purpose however. I think he's trying out wierd strats and then resigning when they don't work out.

He seemed to have been doing sneak-krow rushes before. I like his creativity, as this strategy DID catch teams off-guard before! Plus, hunting for the krows is fun.

If he does enough of these "weird strats" (and no AFK), he should become a wildcard for any team that has him.

I refrain from further comment.

(I'm just joking chill)

Finally. Thank you Aquanim!

Oh wow, I always give people the benefit of the doubt but I guess trolls are real. They are here among us to test our sanity.
