I was in a game which started with 3 players, and then one was defeated, leaving 2.

The other player hadn't taken his turn for 4 days ++, so I decided to play around with the 'Vote to remove player' link, hoping to show my displeasure....

I clicked on it, and the person was removed immediately!!

oops

That got me thinking. It's that an escape clause.... in a sense a forced surrender?

I also think there should be a way to 'poke' people, to let them know we're waiting.... it's nicer than removing someone because they're forgotten etc (tho how anyone can forget to take a turn is completely beyond my comprehension)

Consider the other possibility - you vote, he is not removed, no-one else will vote, you're trapped in a game you want out of

Yes it is a forced surrender, but the lesson is to not click it unless you mean it  

A poke button would also be nice 

yeah...

i agree with that!! sometimes would be nice to give only a warning... and not vote people out imediatly!!!

We will make some subtle and yet substantial changes to this soon.Bear with us - I know it is far from optimal the way it is now.

/me waits patiently and eagerly.

Yeah, Dek just won a game because I was slow playing even though we'd been playing slow.

UNFAIR!

You should be able to set a maximum time period. 

I'm not totally sure what a good system will be, but one thing is for sure: It's pretty annoying and upsetting to get kicked out of a game in which you had no malicious intentions by being away.  Let's all wait and see what the Weewar dev crew has up their sleeves in the coming releases.

I like the idea of a poke button, in addition to some maximum time length for playing one's turn. This time length should be configurable at the start of the game by the player who creates the game becauase some groups move at a slower pace than others. 

 I'm going to be on vacation(honeymoon, actually) for 18 days in October, so I guess I will need to finish all may games before then or risk being voted off.(fairly) If I get near weewar on the honeymoon, that would be the end.

... the end of your marriage? 

In lieu of the poke system, a private messaging system may be helpful.  Something really basic, no need to reinvent e-mail or forums. 

The end of me or the end of the marriage. I guess if it was the end of me, that would be the end of the marriage too. (the contract says we part upon death)

Invite your wife to a game.... she might change her mind
