Deadbeats

I decided not to post this in the "Suggestions" section because it's been gone over so many times there is no point in making suggestions anymore about how to solve the problem of Question Marks deadbeating.

I, along with many other people, have brought this issue up and were told a couple months ago by Andy that a partial solution was in the works and due to be implemented with other updates in mid-August. This partial solution included some sort of tutorial video that would explain to Question Marks that CC actually expects them to take their turns after signing up for games and that, depending on what type of game they joined, they might have to wait hours or days to take their turns. In essense, be prepared for this and don't sign up for games unless you are.

I'm still skeptical that this video will make any dent in the number of deadbeat Question Marks, but I was wondering if we could have an update on where CC is with this video and other changes on the "to-do" list.

Hey lack, I remember you saying in an earlier post that we should expect an update sometime in August. It's getting pretty close to the end of the month so my question is: Should we still expect this update to happen by August 31st?

Perhaps there could be some sort of overnight camp too?

The noob deadbeats in games can certainly be maddening maybe another game creating feature
to go along with standard, forifications, number of players etc. could be a
No ?s box.
