Yes, it's generally allowed.

Exceptions would be:
  • Games where you are his opponent (cannot sit for an opponent)
  • Certain tournaments where sitting is prohibited or has special restrictions of some kind (check with the tournament organiser)
  • If he is gone for more than 30 days, you cannot continue to sit indefinitely. After 30 days if he's not back you must let him deadbeat. (The 30-day rule is not strictly enforced. I'm sure nobody would freak if there was a game close to finishing and you took it to the 33rd day or whatever.)
  • You cannot join any new games except for Clan or Tourney games that were agreed to before he left.

I would think so, but it's not my area of expertise. I contact king achilles when in doubt about something like that.

i'm shocked you don't know the sitting rules, after having been here for so long... when there is confusion, i always make sure to announce i am taking the turn in chat... i think you did the right thing in the games you are in with him... anyway, i recently sat for a guy that went to jail for 3 weeks... that was a nightmare, because he played 4 times as many games as i did on the regular and totally different settings... throw in the fact that someone else was "helping" and the confusion was pretty thick, but i didn't mind helping him out... now, the same guy is going on a cruise with the dude that "kept him safe" in jail and i suspect they are going to make their union legal in some island nation with wicked drinks and tiki lamps on the beach... kind of jealous... he went to jail, found a soul mate and is now going off to paradise to marry him... all i got was to sit his lousy games, not even a shirt from the CC store... sigh...-Jésus noir

that is one messed up story, and i heard from "a friend" it was only 10 days in jail, not 21. i also heard from "my friend" that he doesnt play all that unusual settings, and that he is a really nice guy who is straight and knows more wu tang references than black people...

Yeah this is going to be more like 25 to life so im more or less finishing his games than sitting for them but who knows a good lawyer can really do some damage for or against.

I recently went on a cruise, it was great. Not with any fellow felons though... that I was aware of. Thank goodness I didn't need a sitter since I've been lacking on my games. Also, the wifi on ncl is comparable to a third world country.

Not with any fellow felons though.................. It's the phrasing. If you don't see why that is putting me down. Your not ever going to get it.

Reframing form posts, and showing clueless and gormless chatterboxes how to fill out delete and file templates is something that Owen excels at. I'm sure for a modest fee Owen would edit most if not all your forum posts, might even make you appear to be at least semi literate, maybe even occasionally sober.
