Re: Trouble with turn-based games

I played a turn-based game where my opponent was way out of time; so i skipped him.
Than i took the "quit without penalty" option.
But the result is that i got a leave penalty and my opponent is considered winner.
Could this be fixed, please?

Hi--I have a TTA game that has been at >100 days remaining for each player since the restoration of this issue, because one player has not made a move since then. Because of the time limits going up to 127 days, this person is going to take a very long time to time out so that the game can be abandoned.

Here is the game: http://en.3.boardgamearena.com/throught ... e=21060414

Is there a way you can intervene to set their clock to zero so the game can be abandoned? (It barely started anyway!)

It might be linked to the turn-based "giant bug" : this game of Seasons is in its 4th year, and the end has not been triggered :

http://fr.3.boardgamearena.com/seasons?table=20161815

Players can still play as usual : choose a die, perform actions, play cards... earn victory points... Is there a way to end this ? I've proposed to stop it, as the bug is obvious, but one of the players (who earns a lot of cristals each turn) seems eager to continue....

Hi!

Because of the bug of the 3rd may, the game was closed before the end. It was not possible to play no more and I've no other possibility than click on quit the game. With this manipulation, I received penality and I've lost about 40 ELO. This represent 15 victories against good players...

This happened in a tournament and now I've already win the next round. Than.. How is it possible to be considered as loser with my position???

Is it possible to cancel the result of this game to get back my ELO?

Is there a chance that anyone gives a look to this game before it ends ? I do not want to get a penalty for not playing my turn, and the 4th year is near the end. It might end the game, or not... no one can tell as this game is clearly bugged.
If the end happends with this 4th year, one of the players will get a cheated win... a bit disappointing as it's been 5 days the bug was announced here, and I'm not sure it takes long to cancel a game for admins... (but maybe it is).

Thanks for your attention, and for this nice website by the way.

One last try...
Is there any chance that a seasons'game where 4 years have been played instead of 3 can be canceled ?
The bug is obvious, there's no doubt about it, but due to the lack of fairplay of another player, it will go till the end ? Nothing can be done against bug exploiters ? It's a bit disappointing ... :cry:
