Thanks TeeGee for your thorough consideration on the matter.

I do feel the rules regarding missed turns are far too lenient and detract from many people's enjoyment of the game. But, as you said, they are what they currently are.

This is how absurd your argument is.

You claim he was missing turns in order to win, but then he won because you missed a turn. So, for you to miss a turn makes you lose, but if someone else misses a turn that means they win, is that it? This is the bottom line among all idiots who claim that ...

I think this delay caused me sometimes to accidentally miss my turns.

For all the "accidents" that happened twice in a row, it's amazing that there was never a third accident. The big giant clock that ticks down is easy to miss when you're in Central Command and taking your other turns.

That is ...

TeeGee,

Thanks for looking into it. I was hoping to have some satisfaction on this issue prior to the end of the game, but here we are. It would certainly be an improvement to the site if these definitions were included in the rule page.

I'd like to see an actual reference from the site that that is the definition of deadbeating, other than because you say it is. My definition certainly makes more sense, is more true to the common usage of the term, and would better benefit the game play on the site. But none of this even matters ...

So, by your definition a player who only takes every third turn is not a deadbeat. To keep our domestic theme going, let's look at a deadbeat dad. If he only makes every third child support payment, he's a deadbeat. He doesn't have to miss them all to qualify.

I'm much more ok with a player missing ...

I completely disagree.

Let's review the "unwritten" rules from the rules page. "Unwritten Rules: Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage ...

Comments: Game 15017725 started to stalemate and k bar began intentionally deadbeating and lied about it when called out. During the times he was missing turns in ...

suggestion: keep the rounds to 5 min. the free-for-all nature is lost when waiting 15 min for people stalling

Looking forward to trying the nuke spoils.

The game info and spoils at the top is TERRIBLE. The only thing worse would be a link to another page to get the info. Please change it back.
