Happy Thursday, Slappers!

NEW

- Added a new leaver system: You get a free leave every 3 hours, with subsequent leaves resulting in 5 to 15 minutes matchmaking suspensions
- Added sounds for hitting the rubber tires and poles on the pond
- Added a warning to the 'randomize loadout' button on the appearance menu to avoid accidental clicks

Improvements

- Balanced the matchmaker to handle very highly rated players better, they should find matches quicker
- Upgraded our server operating systems with all the latest performance improvements

Fixes
