May not have computer access for a week

I'm sure this has come up but I couldn't find anything about it. I am going to be away from my computer for a week and I may or may not have access to a computer. Is there anything I can do about the current games I am in? I've started to rush my plays and made some bad choices in trying to win. I don't want to screw up any games. I stopped joining games over a week ago but I still have some left. Including 1 tournament. Can I retire from the games?

No, but you can ask someoen to take the turns for you, called a sitter. Its perfectly legal. Just change your password for a week to something simple and ask that person if he wants to watch over the games instead of you.

You cannot retire from games, you have 3 options really:
1) Deadbeat out of your games. - not ideal and you will get a bad rating
2) Organise for a real life friend to take your turns (give them your password)
3) Organise for someone on here to take your turns (give them your password, find someone you trust)
