    At the start of a infected match, a zombie is randomly chosen. If the person who becomes the root zombie is AFK, the rest of the players must wait for the match to end. So this doesn't happen, I suggest that if a zombie is AFK for 30 seconds, they are kicked, sparing the players a long, boring wait

    Actually, correct me if I am wrong (this was an old feature) if a zombie leaves a new one will be chosen randomly.

    EDIT: I just noticed you meant AFK zombies... I like your idea

    In other game modes, if the chosen infected has not killed someone in x amount of secs, another player is randomly chosen to be infected (along with the original one in case he was not infected but just not... good).

    I agree, otherwise it just becomes a question of who sacrifices.

    This wouldn't be a problem with a 2-3 minutes long counter which basically ends the round automatically if no survivors have been killed.

    Don't add /kill.
    Add a timer which moves all players to the lobby if a single player hasn't died in at least 2-3 minutes.

    Instead of just kicking the zombie, why not just make someone else a zombie as well? Or if you were to just kick the zombie would the round end after they've been kicked? If not then there is no point in kicking them because you will still have to wait till the round is over.

    How about a plague effect? For example, every 30 seconds the nearest human to the spawn point is infected until there are (x) humans left.

    2-3 minutes is pretty much the whole match.

    6-5 minutes is pretty much the actual duration of the round.

    In start of 2014 the players being afk too long got kicked by the server. Not sure if there was a time limit but i'm sure there were no afk.
