: We had to add that rule after several players, who had been trolling, booted
: the entire lobby except themselves. I have been trying to remove the
: "admins only" policy but Vagueness feels it is still necessary
: and we tend to compromise and let trusted regulars have the party lead.

: Its important that no one is booted except as a last resort. We have had
: problems with people being booted unfairly(myself being part of the
: problem, back in the day,) and players trying to keep the lobby "pure
: HBO" instead of open to everyone.

: I hope that clears up our policy and why it was necessary when originally
: implemented.

That's a pretty good summary, and

: Normally, I'd say yes.

: Long answer:
: However, the Master Chief Collection presents us with an odd scenario. Unlike
: previous games, the game's host is determined by Party Leader rather than
: best connection. For that reason, I tend to leave Vagueness as Party
: Leader, since his connection is better than mine.

: I wouldn't be opposed to passing the Party Leader around a few times,
: especially to those who have lag with myself, Shadow, or Vagueness as
: Leader. That way they can enjoy a few games without it.

: Short answer:
: Yeah. Pass it on but let's aim for a mutual host who can support as many
: players as possible. :)

I concur with this.
