Find a substitute for turn by turn mode

Hello,

I don't know if it have been discuss before but it would be nice to find a substitute in case of long absence or boring game.
Sometimes, I trie a new game, that I don't like and have to play to the end. In 2 players mode, no problem, I conceed the victory. But, with more player, if I quit the game, I penalise the other players.
Or, I 've just join a game, I was absent-minded and didn't see it was for 5 players. The game will last months. Soon, I have to leave several weeks in a place without internet. What would happen for the other players ?

Thanks

In +3p games, when one quit... other players are considered winners, so you will loss ELO to.

So quit or reject a game "just for bored" could be impolite, like a 9-yo-child who loss his/her Queen after 4th move in a chess-game.

It's not like a kid who throw the game away, and when I quit because I don't like the game (it only happens with new games that I don't know and play to try), I always explain it to the other player. No one was never angry.

I understand you, but as a guy who knows all games in BGA, I suggest you:

- Read the rules, at least once...
- Replay a game if you aren't clear about some rules, in BGA you can replay all games.

If you don't feel nice after it, just don't play or repeat my steps again :).
