[[Player Kicking]] does not directly have to do with gameplay progression, and therefore it does not make sense for game systems to perform this type of kicking. This makes the pattern make most sense in [[Multiplayer Games]] since cases where players of [[Single-Player Games]] - include those with [[Game Masters]] - perform in unacceptable ways and are kicked as a result are difficult to distinguish from other cases of [[Game Over]] in [[Single-Player Games]]. |
Implementing the pattern consist either of giving [[Game Masters]] privileges to access functionality to throw players from game servers, or implementing [[Voting]] system so players can initiate and enforce the kicking of other players on their own. It does not need to be supported explicitly through design in [[Self-Facilitated Games]] since players and [[Game Masters]] can there kick players on their own initiative. | Implementing the pattern consist either of giving [[Game Masters]] privileges to access functionality to throw players from game servers, or implementing [[Voting]] system so players can initiate and enforce the kicking of other players on their own.
