It looks like we fixed that nasty bug where an active game could end up in the archive. Affected players were not able to play their turns but got simply skipped each time.

We are very sorry for the confusion this has caused. Since all the affected games continued for the other participants we can not just repair them. So I am afraid last night's fix will only keep it from happening again but those games already struck by the bug are beyond repair

We are really sorry for this.
 

is there a way to have the affected player removed from the game without him being penalized?

Afraid not.. but the entire game can be removed if helpful?

if he can't draw, i guess that's the only way to end it, right?

If you (or anybody) want us to remove such a game please post your Weewar name and the game's id (the number visible in the url) here. Sorry for the mess.

Calor!!

2 moves into this game and it happened: http://weewar.com/game/27358

Yes, this happened to me too. I archived a finished game. refreshed my screen and it archived my not-finished game. It was in archive and people were still playing it. But it skipped my turn!!!

There seems to be a lot of that happening lately.  There seems to be a skipped turn issue also.
