Kicking player?

[Slick]

A few thoughts:

- This game was specifically set up for newbies. Maybe this guy is a newbie to Online gaming as well and doesn't understand that he/she is holding up the game for everyone, but he should.

- However, one of the game rules was to have a valid email address. Not having one (or simply not responding to the host) is breaking a rule. Breaking a rule should be subject to some penalty.

- The game turn rate is 72 hrs. The 20 players are from all over the world and have different schedules. As one of the players who recommended 72 hrs instead of 48 hrs, I would like to reiterate my position. It is that most of the time I feel that I can get turns in within 24 hrs (and have been) but due to real life and my job, there will be times where I will need 72 hrs. To date, I have never been anywhere near the Last to upload, but I may be in the future. The reason I requested 72 hrs is that I view these games as a commitment and I didn't want to hold up the game occasionally. I didn't want to "commit" to a shorter game time when I knew there would probably be times that I couldn't make it. This is out of respect for the other players.

- The point here is our average turn time. I think players should submit their turns as early as possible out of courtesty to others.

Conclusion: I continue to commit to getting my turns in as soon as possible out of courtesy, but may, at some future time, occasionally need the full 72 hrs. I believe that not having a valid email address should result in some action by the host and I support whatever means he uses to decide. I would vote if there is a vote. I agree that a host does not need to put these actions up for a vote and as host can act as he thinks best for the game. I sure would like to see the average turn rate increased as well.

Slick.
