Player taking advantage of undo move to stall the game.

[shrouded figure]

Fix we found:

First expel warning is 20 seconds. Second is 10s. Then 5s, 2s, 1s, and finally no warning at all (immediate expulsion).

Each time the turn of the player is really finished (= another player must play), this goes back to 20s.

Thus, any player who tries to build a "loop" will finally be expelled.

Thank you for the quick fix.

This sounds like it would lead to almost instant expulsion on games that have a lot of single actions.

It would go like this:
Expel-Action
--> 20sec timer starts
Player does 1 Action within 2 sec
--> 20sec-timer is cancelled after 2 sec
Next Expel-Action
--> 10sec timer starts
Player does next Action within 2 sec
--> 10sec-timer is cancelled after 2 sec
etc.

So the Player could be expelled within 5 sec or so.

But it would work if the timerwould keep running down while you'remaking moves, so that the 2nd Expel-Action would be possible only after the 20sec. That would give about 40 sec for finishing your turn. Still hard on some long-turn-games but propably doable.

If this is really causing issue, we can modify the rules to this one: time before expelling someone would be the smallest of these 2 values:

• 20 seconds
• 60 seconds minus time since first expel notice sent at this player's turn

This way, the expel notice time would always be 20 seconds, but in all cases the faulty players would not have more than 60s to finish their turn and escape the expel.

Wäre schön wenn es auch funktionieren würde. Und es ändert noch nichts daran das keine 3 Geschwindigkeiten gibt. Wird das geändert oder bleibt das so? Und der Fehler ist noch immer gegenwärtig. Das bei Wechsel auf jetzt spielen oder andere Aktionen die Verbindung zum Server mit sich zieht. Das kann bis zu 2 Minuten dauern das wieder was passiert in dieser Zeit geht gar nichts. Der Fehler befindet sich jetzt schon mehrere Wochen. Wird das behoben? Wenn ja wann ist damit zu rechnen?
