MP Game: How bad is too bad?

[anonymity]

I don't see a justification in removing anyone for anything other than staling or cheating. Is it fair to their efforts that the results are not up to your standards? I think most people would agree that any sub is better than setting that nation AI.

If they're staling it's a different matter entirely, and if someone entered a game midway and then proceded to only play every other turn and do badly, it could be argued they're not putting any effort into the game.
