The one night I have free to play some league games lol. For fucks sake.
Hi, we had Kingsday, so I was off for a day. You got an PM to sort this out.
Similar problem yesterday, second game against Franko, he was afk for 7 min during his turn after I forgot to bounce an ICE to finish the game with Blue Sun.
So I decided to finish the game, he quit during the finish.
I took a screen, and reported matches which havenāt been rejected yet.
Itās on our radar, action will follow.
If there are more people with matches like these, please PM me to avoid cluttering of this forum.
Seems to still be a problem?
Can we refuse to play him? That would tilt me pretty hard as someone with little time to play online. I know its against the rules in generalā¦
Player Franko has been banned from the league for his playing behaviour, also this was an issue in an earlier league too. If you want to play, stay cool and finish your matches like everyone.

It sucks, that you invest your free time for enabling this great league and then you have to deal with these kind of decisions. All the more reason to thank you again for making this happen!

I just had a quick question. I played my first match in SHL4 yesterday evening and had some unfortunate connection issues. We both had 5-6 points when I disconnected and was unable to return. My opponent has reported the game as a win. Is this customary when someone disconnects? (Itās my first game disconnect reported on OCTGN)
I dont think so. I certainly wouldnāt report a disconnect as a win even if I was up by 4-5 points. Only if it seemed like the win was inevitable, and then only after asking
Calling @Argamas for your problem, @Alturis. There is nothing definitive in the rules posted in the top post.
However, I agree with @kenobob that I would not report a match that close a win, unless there was absolutely no way for me to lose at that point in the game (because Iām guaranteed to score/steal an agenda this turn), and I had the screencaps to prove it. Even then, I wouldnāt argue for it, just show the caps and say āHey, do you agree Iām 100% certain to win at this point?ā If not, Iād just drop it because itās not worth the fight.

Just making sure. It wouldnāt hurt me to call it a loss as connection issues should be rare. Apparently my ISP decided to have an off night which is frustrating since I donāt get many to play.
I know the feeling, brother. Best I can manage is about 2 or 3 games each morning after I get off work (night shift!), maybe get several in during dead hours (4-9AM Sunday morning).
No, unless it is so obvious that a player would win. Some posts back there was a clear cut situation: opponent without credits, agenda in server ready to score etc.
Always make screenshots of the situation so we can see what boardstate was. Weāre coutious to award games, unlessā¦
@ZiNOS - my OCTGN died, but Iām willing to give you that game if you want for slow play as much as anything else.

Iām having a blast losing. Not really, I donāt enjoy losing, but at this point Iām resigned to a terrible record, so Iām just focusing on improving my play.
See my name only about a half-dozen above the bottom still sucks, though. Iām used to winning; less so in card games than other things, though.

Nice. Just got my second win in 10 games. I knew he was a super player, decided to check rankings right after the match- TheRedArmy was 160th out of 165 (NOT LAST!!! 
), and I defeated the 12th ranked player in the league. Helped that he was Shaper and never saw an SMC despite heavy drawing.
Oh variance, thou art thou heartless bitch.
