I was just playing a game, and then, in the middle, I saw the message, "Chalky left the table."
What does this mean? I am assuming it means that Chalky quit the game. But then the game would show that there was a quit, or resignation, etc, right?? If C just walked out of his/her room for a minute, then of course the computer would not know that. :D
If one gets this sort of message, what sort of unspoken rule is there about how long I should wait for another move? Or is "left the table" code for 'quit, gone, and forever departed."?
The player can rejoin the table after leaving, continuing the game.
If a player stays inactive for a certain time* you are able to make him resign.
*it was 5 minutes once. There should be a thread about it somewhere...
Trazo,
You are correct. I checked back and there was a popup window "Force C. to resign?" I am not sure of when it popped up, but no reason to think that the 5 minute figure you gave is incorrect. That's a nice feature. I've never had anyone just up and leave, but there's a first time for everything! :-)
