Unable to submit score in Yahtzee

Post by Kannoli »

Hi all, I’m participating in the current Yahtzee tournament with simultaneous turns and am trying to finish my first game. We’re on the last round where the opponent has submitted their last score, but the system won’t let me submit my final score. It also says that it’s the other player’s turn for some reason. The table # is 542431485. Has anyone else experienced this before or knows a way to resolve it? I’m worried about timing out and gaining a negative reputation because of (what seems to be) a big. Thanks!

Are you sure your opponent has taken their turn? What is it telling them they have to do (if you know)? Cause from here it just looks like it is their turn.

As it currently stands, they will potentially get a time penalty, and only an exit penalty if you boot them when their time runs out. Time penalties don't affect your reputation. Exit penalties do, but if you get the occasional exit penalty due to a bug or even due to timing issues in tournaments (because of the fixed time turns in tournaments, it is easier to run your time down, depending on when the player before you typically makes their turn), your reputation doesn't suffer much (also it seems penalties are less for tournaments than for normal games). Additionally, you gain back a point of reputation for every game finished (without time penalty). I have been booted from tournaments on several occasions due to timing issues and a few legitimate bootings from non-tournament games because life got busy, but I've never worried about my reputation. I've always recovered back to 100% before it's ever been an issue.

If nothing changes, the game will eventually time out due to running over the maximum time allocated for the tournament (10 days), and at that point whoever has the most time left (you, at present) will win. So it will ultimately resolve.

It seems I did get ahead of myself there. I assumed that there was nothing left to do on my opponent’s side because it looked like all scorings had been assigned already. I’ll be more relaxed about it in the future, but thanks for taking a look, nik.
