I have tried to find out from your website how long you should wait for a player to take a turn. A game was started last Sunday 26th February and 3 players have taken their first turn (within a short time) and we are waiting for the final player. From the player's profile I noticed that he/she only joined the same day that the game was set up. Please could you advise the maximum time limit allowed to take a turn and should I, as one of the players, send a message to the player.

Hi Penguin,

This can happen. People sign up, join a game, never to be seen again. It has happened to me twice. It is not that common but annoying all the same.

I don't believe this site has any concrete info on what to do in this situation. It is up to you.

I usually wait until the game "goes red" in my game list - one week i think - then i send them a friendly email. However i bet this person will never read their mail. After 60 days of no activity the game is removed. However the sight of that ""red game" will bug you every time you log in.

If you look in your mail there is a sent box and an outbox. Messages in the outbox are emails you've sent but have never been read by the recipient.

Trip

Hi Trip

Thanks for the info about taking turns. After posting this I decided to send a polite message to the player and put that if they wanted any help with the game to send me a message. The game turned red today for the first time after a week which is why I noticed the player not taking their turn so I will wait now.
I didn't realise that the game would be removed after 60 days so thanks for that but 60 days does seem a long time to wait. Moderators-can this time not be reduced to say a maximum of 1/2 weeks before a game is terminated.
