Kicking player?

Ruatha · #1 June 15th, 2003, 11:19 AM

One of the players in NGC3 does not reply to my e-mails.
One of the game rules is:

1. Always have a valid e-mail adress where the host can reach you.

I was tryoing to reach hime to ask why he uploads a few hours before the 72 hour deadline runs out, persistantly!
If there was anything I could help him with?

Now what to do as I can't get contact with him, he still plays his turns.
As I see it I have three options:

1. Do nothing, accept things as they are.
2. Run a turn offline, changing his password so that he must contact me.
3. Kick him.

Any suggestions, opinions, ideas?

2. Run a turn offline, changing his password so that he must contact me.

Then 3 if unsuccessful.

Hmmm kicking a player who gets his turns in within the games set time doesn't seem right to me. Seems like what you really want is a faster game so why not just set it to 48 hours or whatever.

I have that problem with Georgig.

I would not ever think of kicking him.

I just delete the bounced mail. And hope he reads the Messages.

Remeber not all e-mails accept everything that is sent to them.

I believe that is the case with Georgig and I.

I think his ISP bounces my emails.

I would suggest that you get someone to contact him in the game next turn to send you an email about your concerns...

Then you can work it out.

I have no intention of kicking anyone for sending in their turns late!
I might kick someone who Posts an answer without reading the question though!!!

Why on earth shouldn't it accept my e-mails? They don't bounce, it's just no one who reads the in-box!

If I may put a word in DavidG's defense, you did say...
