I'm in a game with a player who hasn't run a turn in almost a week. (And yes, it's been his turn for that long.) This is his only current game, the others having concluded weeks ago. So why does it show "Time since last turn" as 1.1 days?

It looks like that may be the difference between the last time it was his turn, and when he actually took it; could that be it?

(And yeah, I'm pretty much writing this game off, but MAYBE it'll finish some day.)

actually it's because he has made at least one move in one of his games, the last move being 1.1 days ago.

Presumably it was his turn in this game here.

Ah, thanks. So he did continue to play in other games while ignoring ours.

I'm kinda new; how often can I expect to see this sort of thing? Does it vary from game to game? (As in, is Tikal more prone to it than Amun-Re, say?) On BSW, we'd have just looked for a sub.

Very rarely do players play well outside their usual pace without putting up the away sign. As for deliberately abandoning a game while playing on with others. Its even rarer. New players often seem to quit after a couple of games or even part way through their first few games, so pick opponents with >10 games and you should have smooth sailing!
