Could we have an attendance % in our profile to indicate how many go's we have taken or missed?
This could be very much like the win percentage on the scoreboard.

It may sound a bit anal but the detail would give a good idea of player reliability without branding players for missing the odd turn, which we all do.

It would also give a better idea of those who use missed go's as a tactic to double up.
The feedback system often misses those who miss the 'odd go' habitually and in every game. Most players give the benefit of the doubt; holding back suspicion and leaving no flag for future opponents.

Additionally an attendance percentage would be a very good and quick way to judge RT reliability.


I do apologise if this has been bandied about previously but i can not find it with a search.

Only problem i see is :

example story:

1. a person has premium membership.
2. he has 50 games going (happens quite a bit for some people).
3. something bad happens (car crash, disease, hospital, etc.) and suddenly the guy cant take his turns.
4. he deadbeats all 50 games, making 150 total turns missed.
5. That could easily drop a total from 99% to 50%, depending on how long he has been playing.
6. that would be really unfair to the guy.


I vote NO.

Hmm, I think it could work, nobody really pays attention to that stuff anyways.

@wca, in such rarely cases there could be send a pm to an admin and he can simply adjust the rate...
furthermore, i don't think that if you are involved in a car crash, your atendance rate will bother you ;)

btw i think it would be a funny option, not a necessary.

It's a very good point WC!

However isn't this scenario the exception not the rule?
It would be a shame for the person who was in the car crash and was in hospital with a disease (with luck like that his dice would be awful anyway and he's probably glad of the break) but wouldn't their CC attendance record be the least of their worries!?

Also based on a short period the average could soon be brought back to normality.

what you reckon?

if this scenario would happen it would not drop from 99% to 50% unless this guy has previously taken only 150 rounds (that's 10 games at 15 rounds/game). which is hard to believe for a premium member with 50 games going.

but anyway let's assume it happens and it drops to 50% he'll most likely get quite a lot of neg feedbacks to which he can respond and say it was a personal emergency (car crash, etc)

anyway after the percentage drop if he gets back to his usual 50 games at a time he'll have the % up again in no time.


i totally support this idea.
