Nah, I agree mate. .. unfortunately that little '?' becomes something to dread and eventually avoid. I would much rather not avoid anyone but it is not an easy one to answer.
Maybe:
- Make it less than 3 misses before a kick out?
... but that might hurt the average player experiencing abnormal circumstace.
Or:
- have a maximum of misses for a week?
I reckon it's mostly a problem with brand-new players who start 4 games and then leave after one round never to return. A maximum of misses for new players only might work.. perhaps 5 and you are booted out?

So some people join, because games don't start instantly, they don't bother waiting around, and they don't come back. Boo hoo.
I don't know what it is about this site, but it attracts so many whining pussies.

i could give a rat's ass about the points you don't get when you beat them. but the fact that they bone up games right and left is really beginning to piss me off.
and please, don't give me that we were all newbies once line. yea we were, and i missed one turn in one game when i was new. so i know it's possible to play even when you're fresh off the boat.
now cc gods, it's up to you. or are you to busy worrying about the retaliatory feedback, that is still coming in at mack speed? yet they never disappear, unless somebody pisses and moans about it.

Here goes anyways, I joined the site with a friend a little over a week ago because we like playing risk. I sit at a computer all day and like to watch the games progress. He just wanted to play risk against me on the computer. He started a game, made one move, and then deadbeated. I have stayed on and am still working towards my first win but loving it. I don't know how to say this gently but I think that this site is terribly inhospitable to noobs and I think that has a lot to do with why so many deadbeat. If you read the forums, noobs get trashed. I searched in vain for some sort of tutorial or demo game that I could play so my learning the mechanics of the game wouldn't 'ruin' it for more experienced players but found nothing. My friend said he just couldn't figure out how to play the game so he didn't come back. In my first two games, I made mistakes because I was unsure how to read the maps and what some of the options meant and lost quickly because of it. I stuck around and learned and now after being in about 7 different games I am really figuring things out.
I don't mean this as an excuse for noobs deadbeating but there is a pretty high barrier to entry on this site and I think it scares off a lot of people that just want to play some risk.
