Game 7051917 fileman has missed 5 turns, though not 3 in a row. It looks like he's about to miss another. Is there a maximum number of missed turns in a single game? If not, does that mean you could miss 2/3 turns through the entire game and not be ejected?

there is not total missed turns limit. only a limit on the amount of turns in a row that are missed. srry. ur best bet is to eliminate him quickly.

Thanks for the clarification.
Now, where'd I put that polish?

I realize there's no limit on missed turns, per se, but rather on missed turns in a row... What about an opponent who performed this pattern: miss turn, take turn; miss turn, take turn; miss turn, take turn... 3 consecutive times; starting 22 turns into a game, therefore giving himself 3 gameplay turns in a row with effectively DOUBLE the number of armies? In addition to those 3 missed turns, this opponent has also since missed 3 other turns (albeit not in a row, nor displaying the miss one, take one pattern) for a total of 6 during this very competitive game... (52 rounds and counting)
Is it cheating or just poor sportsmanship?

A cheap tactic. Only 3 consecutively missed turns are punished by the offender being kicked. Some use it as a tactic. I'd foe em and be done with him.

Why protect the player? Post the name and I'll foe him too. Won't have such in my games.
edit: Forget dropping the name. I guess random players are exposed this way. I have to experience by my self - take it the hard way.

Thanks for the Input guys... I will definitely foe him and not put up with it again... It really is a lousy tactic...

I read this, was appalled and put it in the suggestions forum.
