This is similar to an idea I TRIED to suggest, but worded poorly. It would work similar to the way some credit card companies give out temporary purchase numbers -- a "one time" or "limited time" use password.
I had an emergency when I first started and had to deadbeat several games. It would probably have been a lot nicer for everyone if I could have found someone else to take over, but there was no way to do that. If you had a temporary password, with only limited access, it would not be so worrisome.
If this is difficult to do/takes up too much "space", then maybe Lack could put a limit on it, to ensure that folks only use it when they REALLY need. OR, attach some kind of minor penalty when you get someone else to play. (2-3 points off your score or something)
