Make the rule so that if they miss any 3 turns at all they are dropped from the game. Who cares if its 3 consecutive, its a team game and 2 on 1 is a pretty crappy team strategy for the guy by himself.
I have one in a game right now that went his first turn missed 2 turns and then came back one hour before missing his 3rd turn. Now he is happily on his way to missing turns again. Had he been dropped I would have gotten an 8 unit bonus for all his territories converting. Now that he is deadbeating again. The escalating card sets are going to kill me.
