RD,
I have the same problem with Mr Numbers. He had been a regular file returner, than just stopped with no explaination. I have one game going against him. I will try one more time to contact him but if it is to no avail how do I proceed?

Stndrtnfhr Out!

PS: Toni, up for a game?

Quote:It's EXTREMELY RUDE and ANNOYING to vanish without a trace. Please show some consideration to your fellow wargamers! A game discontinued without mutual consent is considered a VICTORY of the highest order UNLESS other terms are first negotiated. Do not just disappear!!
If you are going out of town please make arrangements with your opponent to surrender, or suspend the game until your return. If you are knocked off line for an extended period, use a computer at a friends house, the library, the coffee shop, or at work to let your opponent, the Ladder Custodian, or some other member of the club know you are having difficulties. Your games can then be suspended temporarily without consequence.

If you simply disappear for more than 3 weeks, your opponent is awarded the highest victory possible, if they choose to report it.

Prior to claiming a game based on Rule # 9 the following information MUST be presented to the Ladder Custodian and /or the Assistant Ladder Custodian in charge.

Gather your facts; here is a list of info that will be needed.

Is this player a member of the Blitz? What is his handle and Email?
When was last contact?
When did you last request a file from him?
Did you post on the MB for this player to return a file?
Can you provide some copies of these attempts in your Email?

Email your Opponent and CC the ladder custodian with the following message.
State that you’re interested in finishing this game and if your opponent does not respond with his turn in a timely manner that you will claim a victory of the highest level as per the club rules when opponents abandon games.
Present your opponent an opportunity to negotiate an agreeable result if you want, this could help get the desired result you’re looking for. Do include dates and detail your attempts to contact this person.

IF the custodian has documentation that backs up your story and your OPP fails to present the custodian with contradictory evidence of his attempts to continue the match, The Custodian will enforce the rules set forth in section 9 of the Rules of Engagement and award you a victory for the game.
Please do not report discontinued games without informing the Ladder Custodian.

If the MIA OPP chooses to contest this action, then the Custodians will deal with him personally there after.
