Player 1 also gains ELO. Lets say 3 players sit down to a game and player 3 never takes their first turn. Should player 2 be penalized for booting player 3? How do you propose the system be set up to punish player 2 for kicking 3 late in the game to avoid the loss, but not punish player 2 for kicki...

This seems like another example of the rampant issue of ELO hustling on this website. Maybe this suggestion will help eventually weed out the exploit?

Add a category to red thumb called "out of time abuse".

Player 1 can red thumb Player 2 (I don't want to play with this player again -> personal reasons) to avoid playing with them again in the future. Player 1 might want to consider giving player 3 a red thumb as well, otherwise this might happen again in a future game with someone else ejecting player...

There should be a way to counteract this or at least avoid playing with Player 2 in the future. Player 1 can red thumb Player 2 (I don't want to play with this player again -> personal reasons) to avoid playing with them again in the future. Player 1 might want to consider giving player 3 a red thu...

I suppose the unstated rule in this viewpoint is that a red timer is a forfeit... or do you tell the other player that you plan to kick them if they are about to win? They can avoid being kicked out if they recover their time and get back into black. My not expelling them immediately is a kind of g...

In two-player games, a reason for not booting immediately is wanting to enjoy the game, see what interesting moves can be done, practice your game, challenge yourself to get a higher score, etc. The same reasons (some) people hold for complaining when the opponent concedes, apply for not expelling ...

Perhaps, at least for real-time games, it should be the opposite: As soon as a player is overtime, the other players are offered a (secret) vote on whether they'd like to wait longer. If any player says no, or if any player fails to reply within a reasonable time (e.g. 20-60 seconds), the player in...

The bystander player or players did not commit to their 70% complete game being stopped early by a single player who wants end the game over a -0:30 clock on a player who wants to complete the game. They only accepted to keep their own timers green and expected to have a full game. I had to think a...

Nope, and currently they aren't. If Player 1 ejects Player 2 from the table for running out of time, then players 3 and 4 are free to finish the game without player 2, or leave the game without penalty and red thumb player 1 as "personal opinion" so they don't have to play with them again...

Should the remaining players be forced to play with you again if they disagree with your decision? Nope, and currently they aren't. If Player 1 ejects Player 2 from the table for running out of time, then players 3 and 4 are free to finish the game without player 2, or leave the game without penalt...
