Player blocking the alpha review process

Post by Shobu »

A player is blockng one of my alpha match (and one from another table),seemingly on purpose. He hasn't played since december while he does real-time on reguar basis in january. Also plays very slow (usual waiting time one week).
That usually won't be a problem, but alpha card game are a nightmare to review, and our soon-to-die match was launched in .... August. And collected so far very few votes.
Opinions?

Since the game is in alpha, you can quit and you won't get any penalty since it's a training mode game. I understand the frustration of losing one game or of the three needed to write a review, but since the player isn't interested anymore...

You can also red thumb them privately so at least you won't get into this situation again.

But I agree there should be a way to do more: reviewers have to meet a high standard to be chosen, so should maintain a decent standard of sportsmanship, regularity of play, etc. afterwards.

yes i agree, it's not just an early-access.
There's only 2 alpha matches for this (great) game, and both are stuck ..

Do not hesitate to tell the name of your alpha game, you could get more partners ;)

Can't this player demoted from the alpha test status? He still refuse to play ...
I thought alpha was for the "good player", not for people ruining games review on purpsoe
