eject players that aren't playing

[kernegal]

Concise description:

• hello
  this is my first post and I don't talk well English for that, don't be too bad with me.
  the thing that I noticed are that there are some people that enter in games and don't play in them. I suggest that if somebody enter in some game and don't the first round, that player is ejected of the game, his units are in the table but he/she can't do anything.
  I don't know if I need to say something more or with this I have all the necessary, if I have to say more tell me and i edit this post

Specifics:

• xxxxxxx

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• xxxxxxx (you can obviously delete this for bug reports)
• xxxxxxx

hi m8, and welcome to CC

first off, a player has 24 hours to take there turn, and are entitled to all of that, so not going for an hour if very normal

Secondly, if a player misses 3 of these 24 our turns, they will be kicked from the game and there armies will become neutral

i hope this was useful and yu enjoy yur cc experiance and stick around

for more information see the instructions page at the top of the page

thank for you reply, but I would said that the players enter in a game for play, but there are players that enters in a game but don't play.
for example, I entered in four games. in the first are one player that was in 3 games but he don't played, and in one, he was only with another person but he has already lost 1 turn and now is in his second turn
in the third are other player that only had one game and didn't had played. he must had entered in the game and didn't have played
if the people do that can be for two reasons: that have more than one account and are using it for gain more score or that the player entered in the game but he don't know how to play. I didn't remembered that there are players from all the world and can pass too much time before the game starts and you can't be disponible in that moment so I change my sugestion

Report him. If there's no good reason, he should get banned.

Welcome!


If you mean missing turns ... it is quite annoying, yes. Sometimes people are new, join, decide to quit and are never seen again. Other times, it could be anything. The rule is 3 turns missed in a row and the person is tossed out. In Terminator style, the armies will stay the same color, and you can get points when you take them out, but the person can no longer attack.

If you are saying people deploy, but don't attack ... that is strategy. A way to win.

If you mean that people are taking several hours to play ... that is part of the game. You have 24 hours. It can be hard to wait, but it is also nice to play people from around the world, with different schedules.

A lot is explained in the instructions, but it can seem confusing ... especially if English is not your first language. If you have more specific questions, you might try the Spanish forum. (click on Forum, then look toward the bottom of the list) English is the primary language, but there are many people here who speak Spanish. (sadly, not I )

You are to be congratulated for learning English! I would say you communicate reasonably well now and will only improve!

Correction .... if someone has multiple accounts, that is cheating. HOWEVER simply missing turns is not proof of having multiple accounts. What they usually do is play both names in one game and help each other out ... that is why it is cheating.

Missed turns is annoying, but part of CC. Sometimes people even have real problems forcing them to not play. (computer problems, family emergencies, etc.) Overall, the "deadbeaters" (as those who get kicked out for not playing are called) are few and far between.

sure but if they can't play, how can they start playing?

I am not a "mod", by-the-way, so my responses are not "official", just my opinion. That said:

Some games are started/joined days in advance and people forget about joining. Also, things come up. Sometimes big stuff like ending up in the hospital, a house flood (happened to me), etc. Sometimes smaller stuff like a computer that "crashes", friends came over after work, when you planned to play. Kids playing sometimes get grounded (get told they can't play for a while). Husbands/wives sometimes come in and say "gee, let's go somewhere for the weekend" .. etc. Some miss turns as "strategy" .. thinking they will come back with more armies, though that works less now that deployments are deferred (you only get them at the end of your turn) and is generally not considered "good sportsmanship" by most at any rate (not cheating, just not something people like).

Overall, its just part of playing here. If it really bothers you, one option is to get a premium membership. Then you can play as many games as you like. You still have to wait for some, but you can always start more games and then you generally have a few going at any one time.

If a player misses 3 turns, they are ousted from the game, but people have "real lives".

If one person particularly irritates you, you can add them to your foe list and then they cannot join any game where you have joined. Right now, you can join games with them, so if you really don't want to play you have to keep track (this is scheduled to change already, but no one knows when).

However, a lot of those who deadbeat are new players who join a game without realizing that it will take so much time (yes, it is clearly explained, but a lot of folks don't bother reading that) or who just decide "this is not for me" and quit. They are not seen again.

If someone habitually deadbeats. That is, misses a LOT of turns, then you can rate them down on attendance or put them on your foe list. But the thing is anybody can miss a turn here and there. Some games go on for MONTHS!
