If my opponent stops playing in a Real Time game and 'times out' and i switch the game from Real Time to Turn Based does that mean the opponent will be forced to make a move in our game before they can play/start a new game (of the same game)?
If yes, switching to Turn Based forces your opponent to complete a game instead of losing because they timed out.
Background.
I've started playing Bubble pop - so i'm an apprentice, totally new, not very good yet. This game takes 15 - 20 minutes to complete - longer than the games i'm used to. Twice in only a few games my opponent has stopped playing and timed out. I'm not used to this happening. Once they were still online, once thy dropped out. Both times i switched to Turn Based play and they completed the game.
Here's my query. Both times i think they were in losing positions (i could be wrong cause I'm so new at this game) but I'm a bit paranoid and so i ascribed unsportsmanlike motives to them dropping out, (I'm trying to become a better person - but there are soooo many bad sports out there - oops - there i go again). I got to thinking, when I have Turn Based games in progress in Backgammon, the system forces me to move in the game that is waiting before it lets me start a new backgammon game so, when i switched the game to Turn Based did that force the other player to return and make a move before they could play with someone else or did they come back pleased i hadn't kicked them out?
BTW, just to colour your judgement, neither of them thanked me for not ending the game so that reinforced my paranoia.
