im fine with the miss 3 turns and your out rule but in games that last months missing 3 turns isnt that many
is there anyway that like we can make it after 30 days or so you can miss another turn

im not sure if this has been sugested before i searched but didnt look too hard

Actually, you can miss 100 turns if you don't miss more than 3 in a row. Frankly, I think that rule is sort of lame. I agree that in long games you should be able to miss more than 3 total turns. However, I do think you should be required to uphold a certain ration of made turns to missed ones.

I'm in a game where we're only in the 8th round and a guy is on the verge of missing his 5 turn already. However, because he hasn't missed 3 of them in a row, he's still in it.

ummmmm , u guys are as crazy as they come
proof: if u miss 2 turns , play 1 turn then miss 2 turns ,play 1 turn , then again and again....so u dont actually need another missing turns after a month as u r referring..+ missing turns is ugly and this thread is stupid...
