Booting rules violators hurts other players

When a player is booted for "rules violations" unceremoniously in the middle of games with other people, can we at least have that game negated? It made a differenct that got me killed in two three-player games recently. And that sucks.

it might hurt some players however if you break the rules you should not be alowed to play. if u do not punish people for breaking the rules than it does not matter if we break the rules.

It does suck, no argument. However, games won't be deleted/negated, as I understand things. As well, the frequency of a particular individual being affected has got to be very low.

For whatever reason someone who started a game, doesn't finish the game, it does suck. But the winner of the game would think it sucked if the game were negated.

If the player were booted for missing three turns, would you expect the game to be negated? If not, then how about thinking about the player who was booted for violations, just having been booted for missing 3 turns (regardless WHY he missed the turns).

The difference is that a player who misses 3 turns you have at least 2 rounds to prepare yourself for them to be kicked, whereas a player who gets booted for some other reason is instant and will immediately effect the game, before you get a chance to prepare yourself for even 1 turn. I have never had it happen to me, however I can certainly see a problem with it.

Well on behalf of the CC community all I can really say is, "sorry about your little butt".
