Once anyone has abandoned a single game they are already banned I believe. Of course, this player is not abandoning them, just going on holiday for extended periods of time.

The nimrod who voted yes in the poll was probably (drum roll): BlueGecko! Laughing

Even if he does get booted off the site, if he was Julius, he'll probably come back with a new handle and we'll go through this same dance all over again. Mad

And what could be done to prevent that? Confused

A little bit of vigilance is about all it takes. This sort of cheating is obvious if someone looks at his record.

Why 3 abanded games, after one its cleat enough that someone is not taking others serieus!! (if you are the one that makes a game not finishing)

I just signed up at http://www.yucata.de and started two games. I noticed this morning that it was my move in both games, so I clicked on one arbitrarily but it wouldn't let me play that one until I had made the move in my "older game" (the one I had apparently created first).

Perhaps something like that could be implemented here? That would certainly solve this kind of problem from ever happening again.

I have sent a message to the player in question.

I agree, the yucata system is very annoying. In almost 2 years here this is the first time I remember someone abusing ths system like this, so it is not much of a problem.

Glad to see Ryan has sent him a message, but that's almost too lenient. There is nothing to explain here, just finish his games and ban him (remove him from the stats too if you can, as that's obviously the only thing that motivates him).

Okay, alright... Sheesh. It was just a suggestion! Laughing

But seriously, perhaps it could be adapted to work within a single game. So you couldn't play a different game of Amun Re before taking a turn in another game of Amun Re where you've waited longer. But that wouldn't affect your games of Tikal, etc.

Oh, I know... I was just reacting to the quick shouting down. Very Happy

I'm in Game 33426 with BG and since writing a message to ask him about the allegations in this thread he has taken another move but has not responded to the message.

I said in my earlier response that I would take no further moves in this game until he finishes some of his other games. However, one worrying thought is that I may then end up with an abandoned game against my name! So I'm left in a position where I have to take moves just so we can get to Turn 6 with either him winning or the game stalling on the final score. Sad
