There aren't any available xenomorphs or burrowed larvae.

Here is my take on how to fix the queue:

@ihatethisengine

Remove sorting altogether, make it a separate array, dict or something else. Whenever someone dies with the xeno preference enabled or someone dead enables the preference, the game adds that player to the list. Every time there is a burst, we check the list for players who’s been dc’d for more than 5 minutes and remove them from the list. And just like that, we have a queue that only goes one way.

I think the larva dibs should also be removed from both the hugger and the hugged player. Because we don’t need multiple systems for this. We need one system that works with constancy. The mechanics that allow you to skip the queue destroy the very idea of ​​a queue.

Yeah you’ll have to be glued to the screen. Or you can just wait for the next round. But I think people who are more engaged, more invested in the round’s outcome, who observe and participate in dchat deserve the larva more than someone who just leaves for 2 hours to go walk their dog, watch TV, wash their dishes and w/e. It makes a lot of sense that you need to be connected to the game to continue your participation in the round. If you don’t wanna be glued to the screen, then alt-tab or just wait for the next round. Why (basically) punish players who want to play the game to appease players who don’t?
