great !
any chance he will come back at all ?

[checkMate]

I was going to ask Quinns to cancel my game with him, but I was embarrassed to do so because Mieciofok was kicking my tail.

[TheBirdMan]

I have mailed him twice last summer - the mails didn't come back from a postmaster, so I assume his account was active. But he didn't answer my mails, so I guess that is a "No, Meiciofok does not come back".

[Mathemagician]

so what do we do with the games against him ?

They are treated as any other "abandoned game". That is, neither a win nor a loss is recorded -- the game is just cancelled.

Choose your opponents carefully in PBEM Challenges. Some PBEM games take a lot of work to complete. It's a shame if someone just up and disappears without at least "resigning" the game first. I can understand having to leave, but at least have the fortitude to "RESIGN" your games when leaving, instead of just disappearing.

The above describes the current way of handling disappearing players. However, we can take a vote here if you all want to make "abondoned" games VICTORIES for the remaining player. What do you all think? Shall we have a vote?

[Mathemagician]

i say yes, you may ask if we want a vote on whether we should vote on this question.

Two questions:

#1-Does a duel-dual count as "ONE" or "TWO" Victories?

#2-Will thou proclaim a day of feasting on the fatted calf in honor of Grandpa Troll being "DA MAN" with his running off MPTeach?

I say it should be a victory after a certain turn, maybe after turn 100, so games that you have put time into are wins and new games are not.

But then a person plays a frickin low-life L-O-S-E-R!!!!! and gets real close then decides..nope..I am bailing...

why shouldn't a person NOT get a Victory?

I say if a person starts a game then loses,quits,retires, bellies-up give the other person the win and move on...

IF we were to use what protoss suggests, i would say let the rule apply from turn 20 on.
yeah, switch the 100 from that with the 20 from the 4xPG rule.

[Protoss72000]

If they quit after like 5 turns then you would just get a really cheap win. That's why I said maybe a set number of turns need to be played first.
