Do not leave the game. It's very bad form. People can see in your profile how many times you've "left" a game by going into Civil Disorder (no moves for two turns). Players who have a reputation for being quitters won't be invited to join better games. Just because you're not doing well in a particular game is no reason to throw your toys out of the pram and stomp off. If you're unexpectedly unable to play for a few days, request a pause instead.

I'm sorry, poor wording. I don't plan on leaving; I'm wanting to know how I'll know if someone is leaving. I've been burned a couple times when people who I've had alliances w/ have left and the new guy comes in and sees that my naked backside looks very appealing.

Hint: Don't leave your naked backside showing. What if your ally didn't leave the game, but instead was tempted to stab you?

One does not simply leave a game of WebDip....

Be sure someone will hunt you down no matter where you try to hide and no matter how long it takes. Be warned.

Let me reiterate: I DON'T PLAN ON LEAVING. I want to know if there's a way to tell if someone else is leaving. Do you get kicked out if you miss a certain # of turns?

If you miss one turn without checking a game it will say "missed last phase" under your name. If you do that twice in a row, you're removed from the game and it says "resigned".

If your opponent has not missed a phase yet, you have until at least the following turn until they leave.

And turns in which your opponent had no orders (possibly a retreat or build phase or both) don't count as missed turns, but they also don't reset the count, so if they miss a movement phase, but have no retreats (and/or builds in the fall), they'd have to miss the next movement phase.

That said, all they have to do is come look at the game page under their account and it resets everything.

Although I do think that if your communication outside the game had gone on for a while, that you should have been cut from the torunament, but it's Lando's tournament and his decision to make and I respect him, despite our occasional spats.

Ignore that, the system did it's strange thing again.

This isn't a feature request or anything, just spitballing, but, how would it be possible to implement a surrender feature? You could have another vote, along with draw and pause, wherein the voter concedes that he or she would not be part of a draw. But that would encourage people to abandon games, and it would raise the possibility of someone voting surrender, waiting for all but one of the other players to vote draw, and then switching votes with the hope of slipping in undetected. You could make it an irrevocable vote that comes into effect on the next phase, but that seems complicated.

So...never leave your union suit open in the back.

Everybody should assume their allies will leave or betray them.
