Open the vote menu from the Esc menu (or the vanilla vote key binding) and pick a vote. Players vote with F1 (yes) and F2 (no).
Player votes#
| Vote | Result |
|---|---|
| Kick | Removes a player from the server for a while. Reconnecting before the vote ends doesn't dodge it: the temporary ban still applies. |
| Gag | Mutes a player's text and voice for everyone. |
| Comm-ban | Ejects the player from the command chair (if commanding) and bans them from commanding for 60 minutes. |
| Send Player to Shadow-Realm | Moves a player to the spectator team. |
| Ban from starting votes | Stops a player who keeps calling votes from starting more. |
If a vote you started fails, you cannot start the same kind of vote again for 5 minutes.
Team and round votes#
- Concede / surrender: a team can vote to give up. The server announces who cast the last vote.
- Shuffle / randomize teams: see Teams and shuffle.
- Eject commander: vanilla vote to remove an inactive or harmful commander.
- Map votes: at the end of a map Shine runs a map vote;
!rtvasks for one early. Live map vote counts may be hidden to avoid dog-piling.
Use votes fairly#
Votes are for real problems: AFK players, griefers, abusive chat. AFK players are already moved to spectator automatically shortly after the round starts, so you rarely need a kick vote for them.
