diasappeared opponent

[Antoni Chmielowski]

Hi Pawter,

Read ROE #9 and it will explain what you need to do.

What to do?

I was three quarters of the way through a game with an opponent who would normally turn around more than one turn per day. Things had reached a stage whereby the situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage, and he stops replying to my emails. No forewarning (as is usual) like "I'm going on a work trip for 4 days" or "my hard drive is sick" etc. Nothing.

Several times I've tried the usual "did you get my last turn? please find attached again" and then an outright request to know what he wants to do but no reply to more than 5 emails over the past fortnight.

Of course I feel short-changed after investing the effort in the game to be denied the opportunity to play it out; win, loose or draw. But also I've only completed 2 games thusfar and want some points to increase my rank on the ladder so I have some form when I challenge players (not this one again!) in future.

ps. I note my recalcitrant correspondent regularly logs onto this site (e.g. today) so I know he has access to the internet.
