Removing a Player

If a player behaves in a grossly insulting fashion or blocks a game without reasons, the other participating players can remove him/her from the game via majority vote. It is not permitted to kick a player out of a game because he/she plays aggressively but sticks to the rules, or because the player needs a little more time to deliberate, maybe due to being a beginner. This function should, therefore, be chosen with caution and only if a normal game with the player in question is definitely no longer possible. You can access this function via the game administration (upper button bar). As soon as the player in question has been selected, the majority of the other participating players must approve the request so that the player can be removed from the game. Afterwards, the remaining players must look for a substitute or end the game by mutual agreement. If the game is played until the end with a substitute player, the game is counted as unfinished for the excluded player.

Aborting a Game

Players may abort a game. Before leaving the game via the "Exit Game" button in the upper button row, the user is asked if he really wants to exit, because in this case the game is not counted as regularly ended. A second option is to call for a voting to abort the game by mutual agreement. Such a game doesn’t count for the monthly lists or ELO, although it appears as a finished game in the game statistics. The decision to abort a game must be made unanimously by all remaining players. During a time-out a game could not be aborted. Games should always be played to the regular end or be aborted earlier by mutual agreement.

Each game should either be finished in a regular fashion or be aborted in agreement with the other players.
