here's the scenario: in game #52679 Stevve 15 was (at least to the uninformed uninvolved outsider) unfairly and unprovoked verbally attacked and picked on by knave (now we ALL know how infatuated HE is with the speed of the games he's involved in.....) which led to an unpleasant exchange of words; apart from that initially nothing else happened, the game somewhat putterted on....now that we're approaching the final result Stevve is blocking the finish of the game by not taking his turns.
I dislike "loose ends" like these and sent him 3 rather friendly pms (given my linguistic limitations as a German citizen to whom English still is just a second language I still consider them friendly ) kindly asking him to give everybody the opportunity to finish this game
There is no place on this site for either form of unsportsmanlike conduct, so are there feasible procedures for site administration to forcefully finish this game by overriding Stevve and executye those confirmation clicks for him????

It is the unfortunate reality of an openly available and volunteer run game site that there will be the inevitable immature gamers. The problem with your solution is that someone then needs to set a standard that will be completely based on their opinion of what acceptable behavior is. That could be achievable, but then someone has to actually police it. And I don't know about you, but that is a job that is neither fun nor popular and, given the choice, I would much rather play games with the other really cool people on the site. You figure out pretty quickly who to avoid......

Yakeh, I think you've got enough games going that you should just let the bad one or two die their death. The systems will automatically end the game after 60 days of inactivity, so yes its annoying for a little while but you can enjoy many other games while its quietly dieing.

Just so that everyone doesn't have to go find the game, here's the full message log (to date):

I play in many slow games.

In a wallenstein game I am in, Mokhla makes a move about every second day, and I do not say a thing.

In a Hacienda game I am in, cklee also moves very slowly, and I don't utter a peep.

In fact, not only do I not complain, but I don't even mind.

I've been known to make occasional comments like this myself back in the days when I bothered trying to set up fast games. However your position totally falls apart when I looked closely at the details..


Firstly you only specified that

"(my other games are so slow so plz make this one go smooth)"

What's the definition of fast? Stevve has an average turn time of less than 7 hours. That's probably making his moves 2 or 3 times a day at least, especially given the timezone he lives in. Without any further restrictions I dont even think he was being rude by joining.

Of course the game went fairly quickly. 22 days for a 5 player game is almost 10 moves a day. If you created 10 so called fast games, 22 days would be about average.

I would suggest you owe him a substantial apology, knave. Your comments, while quite mild by your standards, were way out of line and show your immaturity.

One thing is for sure, Knave and all his repliers give life to the forum

It's always the same bla bla bla.

[mbouzada]

Knave is absolutely right. Stevve is absolutely wrong.

[striking_cobra]

Stevve is absolutely right. Knave is absolutely wrong.
