Just a gripe... There is nothing worse that playing for an hour, or three hours, and then the other player just upping and leaving.... ALWAYS when you are way ahead on the powergraph.. It frustrates the living daylights out of me.... YEH my turns can be slow.... And why is that usually because I have many more units moving.... I ONLY move my units on my turn- build queues, even caravan placement, public works use is done on the other players turns... I now point blank refuse to play these people under any circumstances.... Keygen started an Apolyton league of experienced fair playing individuals for PBEM....It's a pity no such rules apply to Internet play... in the particular game that tipped me over the edge... the other player was host.... I hope they looked at my turns to see why I am so damned angry.... I will not accept some pitiful excuse about dropped comms, as I sit waiting for an eternity in the lobby.... These people usually are the ones that cry foul play , they just cannot accept that they are simply inexperienced CTP MP players, and will take time to improve.... and no one will give them that time if they take their ball home when things ain't going there way.... SO GRRRRRRR!!!!!! I say !!!

Yes me too, about the only time I fade out of a game is when I pass out
We have that rule Gav in online. Just email me (c.c.) and them with the subject "game continue" . If the player will not respond or continue the game it is concidered a loss to them.
Now if one is soundly beaten just conceed the game. No biggy start a new one.

That was one of the most amusing games ever where you fell asleep.... Me and Patryn were in it yeh? I reassured Patryn that you woul be back, at least for the first hour or so ..... The second hour we debated possible fates that had befell you, the third hour, Patryn succumbed to old age and well we buried him with full military honours!
The player in question did not want the game rated unfortunately...He's back after a fashion...

.... It's not a story it is true... Blackice me and Patryn were playing a game, and whilst Blackice waited for the turn to come back to him... he fell asleep in the chair..... we could hear the snoring right the way across the Atlantic...He's back after a fashion...

Solver it is too true and somewhat a near miss in a lot of games I play
I have this tendency to play a game like now 1 am bored, awake, ready to go“The Communist Manifesto was correct…but…we see the privileges of the capitalist bourgeoisie yielding…to democratic organizations…In my judgment…success lies in a steady [peaceful] advance…[rather]…than in…a catastrophic crash."Eduard Bernstein
