HI EVERYBODY!
This is getting really, really annoying. I appreciate all those who said it's not a big deal.

dude, they're on the same team
Give it a rest
some partners like to move with one another, so that they can read/ react to their partners moves, in real time!
So, don't go accusing people without any proof!
Amazing. After all this time, someone who is senseable.
This is the exact scenario. (btw, those who think we're multis, the mods just have to check out i.p's and know we're in two different countries) We both are very busy people. Some nights Tarzan doesn't get on and I decide to wait until morning to take turns with him, but then I'm busy in the morning, he waits for me, eventually we meet up the next evening, and we've missed a round. The other day I went camping, come back, and I have something like 4+ games where everyone is planning on teaming up on Tarzan and I because we're clearly 'cheating'.
I've said this in several games, and replay usually the same way to flames on my feedback. Here's a cut and paste:
This is getting out of hand. We're both super busy people, and sometimes we do miss rounds. Sometimes we both miss the same round. Happens. I notice this happens with ALOT of my opponents, but I don't go around to check their entire game history to see how many times this happens and start spreading rumours thru their talkback about this kind of behaviour. The fact that we had one very bitter team that decided to start going around to the games we were playing and telling everyone that this was our MO, now we're getting shit like this left on our talkback. We miss games the same as everyone else does. Fact. If you have a problem with that, don't play in a game with us. Fact is it hurts you more than helps you. I don't know where anyone got the idea that missing a turn actually helps you win a game....
Seriously, who in their right mind thinks that MISSING turns helps? Yeah, you come back with twice that in the next round. But you've left yourself open to attack for two rounds! you lose SO MUCH GROUND when that happens. Tarzan and I used to have much higher scores, but when times get really busy for us (both young hardworking professionals with wives and children) we sometimes miss eachother.
Next time you're searching for games and you see someone with negative feedback, read it, but read the response. If you feel like the player is using unfair tactics, which some people continues to think that we do, then don't play with them. Hell, throw us on the ignore list. But most games it's 1 round, maybe 2, and rarely both of us. Everyone has jumped in the 'Kill Chaka and Tarzan bandwagon from bad feedback in games where I and only I missed 1 turn at the very beginning.
This is getting to be way too long. The point is that everyone misses turns, some more than others. The only reason there's so much attention on us is cause of some bad feedback. If everyone left bad feedback saying their opponents had cheated because they missed a turn, every single one of us would have a bunch of negative feedback. It's a stupid thing to complain about, and avoidable by checking feedback from the beginning.
Sorry this was so long. But it's been really frustrating. We're losing alot more than winning because we miss turns, and then we get burned at the stake for it, and it's getting annoying.
Hopefully this makes sense to some of you.
To the others, please put us on your ignore list and we won't ever have problems with eachother.
Thanks for reading.
Chaka and Tarzan. (well, not really tarzan, but i know he'd back me up).
Peace.
