As we all know, if meteor crashes down on anyone during a game, everyone loses the game and thus loses their heart. This can cause a lot of issues and finger pointing as to who is to blame for meteor happening. I had a recent gave that I've been having to fight to get refunded and I think there's a simple solution to this.
If meteor causes the game to end, the game should be unranked.
It isn't fair to make everyone in the game lose their heart if only certain people forced the meteor to happen and most of the time the game gets refunded anyways.
Any thoughts?

because someone gamethrew hence it is refunded, why should the person who forced meteor get away with getting their heart back when they gamethrew?
Dumb players think that it will force the mafia to kill the doc/orc and be auto for the town. It's happened before that I was maf and I had to hit blue, the orc tr me and the blue was 100% for the real doc. I got reported for the GT afterward though (it was no vio for obvious reasons)
Yes, this is so much better. Let the games stall forever until people get bored and someone eventually suicides because a mafia realizes that he/she is salty and doesn't want to kill.

there is no point in making the game go unranked bc of it. it's the players in the game's fault for forcing meteor and they should be vio'd for it. no point in making it go unranked bc someone had the chance to win and they ruined that chance, which allowed everyone to lose. which is why gt vios should be given along with refunds
that's not the point. the point is that the game should just go unranked and violations given accordingly so that people don't have to go out of their way to get their hearts back

in GAI, town is the one gamethrowing when it's a blue, bomb orc, maf and maf nk's. if town refuses to lynch between blue ccs they are gamethrowing and idk why they wouldnt lynch in blues since its essentially 50/50, town just believes it's "autowin" bc maf "has to kill" when they do not. and i believe all town alive in this situation should get gting vio's and a refund (if maf forces meteor) for not voting when maf didn't have to kill
Maf cc's doc, orc is clear, blue is clear. Maf can only hit the blue, but the doc is refusing to let the blue die. Meteor falling wasn't maf's but the doctor's fault as maf would be game throwing otherwise.
This has happened a few times in Jan 2.0 hint hint.
Which is pretty much why it should not waste a heart. If there were to be a different preventative measure, i'd say that the person who did not take action during a meteor should be temporarily unable to play similar to a suicide. That's just a suggestion.
Regardless, making mods refund a meteor game is a waste of their time and just making the game unranked without loss of hearts is a much more simple option.
so if someone refuses to kill and makes everyone lose, they get a gamethrowing violation and the game gets refunded so everyone gets their heart back. This is basically the same thing as having the game go unranked, except the mods have to step in and refund it.
I kind of agree with this in that meteor should not make everyone lose a heart for nothing. Even if it was punishable, the person who is not killing every time is probably the one who should be held accountable.
