Will I get a bad rep?

I am going away on Thursday evening for 10 days.

I started some games over a week ago and due to deadbeats and others taking 20 hours to make a play it seems that most of my 8 active games will still be active friday (even though I started signing up for freestyle games since I thought they would play faster :oops: )

It's a pity there is no way to abandon games other than cause everyone to wait 3 turns until I'm booted.

I'm sure I'm not the only person that is in this position. So what is the solution not to play games 2-3 weeks before going away how do others deal with it?

Fact is most of the games would be nearly finished if we didn't have deadbeats :evil: :x

Most people get someone to babysit their account.

i'm a newbie who could i trust to do such a thing....

Considering I paid 20 bucks I wouldn't like to see a ban on my return...

you won't be banned for letting someone babysit your account. the only rule is they can't take turns in games where they're your opponent.

i'll ask a friend I'd prefer if he lost all the games rather than other poor players having to wait.

cool required I haven't signed up for any games since 29th June but I see that even that was a bit premature. Perhaps my friend will have better luck than me anyway :p

you got some info on this Wicked? Are players going to be able to hit "vacation" just to stall from making their moves ?

I'm not sure of the details JR, b/c I kinda zoned out when lack was talking about it. :oops: (shh!)

do a search of the forums though, as I'm sure it's been discussed.

oh, I do know it'll just skip the player, so using it as a stall tactic would be dumb.
