Slight Amendments to Rules [TTT & PH]

TL;DR: Yes... slaying for delaying... is a thing. But to slay an AFK player is asinine. Below are some obviously wacky scenarios explaining why we don't slay AFK players for being AFK. In the short, the player comes back from being AFK, is kicked from the server or is moved to spectate automatically. Feel free to disagree with me or better yet, start a new thread introducing some wacky scenarios! 

Hyperbolic Scenario 1:
EpicGuy is a Traitor. The incompetent swine some may call his teammates all die, leaving him all alone to kill those dirty Innocents. But alas, EpicGuy is AFK. 

"EpicGuy, you there?" No answer. "Gosh darn it EpicGuy, if you don't return in the next 7 minutes, I'm going to have to slay you for delaying." Still no answer. "EpicGuy, last warning, you hecking hecktard. If you're moved to Spectators, I'm going to slay you, you fool." Again, no answer. EpicGuy is moved to Spectators, the round ends and he's given a slay for wasting all of the precious time that us TTT players are known to have lying around. "That'll show that rebel scum. A slay for delaying. Stupid muppet." But wait, he's AFK. He won't serve the slay until he's back and playing. EpicGuy forces himself to the land of the living. The round starts, and EpicGuy is auto slain. Now EpicGuy is upset. EpicGuy starts hurling obscenities towards the staff. "How can I be delaying if I was AFK? Shove a rock down your throat, you Soviet sympathizers!" EpicGuy is then banned for staff disrespect. 

Possible solutions to Scenario 1 (Answers may vary): EpicGuy leaves the server because he knows he's going to be gone; Someone kills EpicGuy for being AFK in Overtime; you don't slay an AFK player for delaying.

Hyperbolic Scenario 2: 
EpicGuy is a Traitor. The incompetent swine some may call his teammates all die, leaving him all alone to kill those dirty Innocents. But alas, EpicGuy is AFK.

"EpicGuy, you there?" No answer. "Gosh darn it EpicGuy, if you don't return in the next 7 minutes, I'm going to have to slay you for delaying." Still no answer. "EpicGuy, last warning, you hecking hecktard. If the round ends and you haven't moved, I'm going to slay you, you fool." Again, no answer. The round ends and he's given a slay for wasting all of the precious time that us TTT players are known to have lying around. "That'll show that rebel scum. A slay for delaying. Stupid muppet." But wait, he's AFK. He serves his slay, but EpicGuy doesn't lose anything, because he's AFK. Eventually he's forced to spectate.

Possible solutions to Scenario 2 (Answers may vary):  EpicGuy leaves the server because he knows he's going to be gone; you don't slay an AFK player for delaying.

Hyperbolic Scenario 3:
EpicGuy is a Traitor. The incompetent swine some may call his teammates all die, leaving him all alone to kill those dirty Innocents. But alas, EpicGuy is AFK. He hides so he won't be dead when he returns. 

"EpicGuy, you there?" No answer. "Gosh darn it EpicGuy, if you don't return in the next 7 minutes, I'm going to have to slay you for delaying." Still no answer. Minutes pass. EpicGuy returns and kills three players. More time is added to the clock, but then he goes AFK again. "Heck you EpicGuy. Last warning, you hecking hecktard. If the round ends and you haven't moved, I'm going to slay you, you fool. And what buttwipe comes back to kill three people then goes AFK again?" Again, no answer. The round ends and he's given a slay for wasting all of the precious time that us TTT players are known to have lying around. "That'll show that rebel scum. A slay for delaying. Stupid muppet." But wait, he's AFK. He serves his slay, but EpicGuy doesn't lose anything, because he's AFK. Eventually he's forced to spectate.


Possible solutions to Scenario 3 (Answers may vary):  EpicGuy leaves the server because he knows he's going to be gone; you don't slay an AFK player for delaying.
