Topic: Losing players aborting the game
Posted: 2017-Aug-18 20:02
So we're in a game, and it's near the end of turn 9. We've been playing for four hours. People start to complain it's taking too long, not surprisingly the people who were winning a few turns ago but saw their fortunes change.

We're 5 players left, and I feel like I'm in a winning position (which is debatable, but I was lanny and held the iron bay, having already ousted greyjoy). Stark was on 6 castles, but with no way to take another. I was actually going to take one from him to end the turn at 5 castles, strong defensive position and most barrels.

So suddenly people decide they don't wan't to go on anymore. They figure PBEM will take to long so 3 players just voteabort. The guy who instigated the aborting sends me a private message 'this is amazing'.

So I'm very annoyed right now. I was playing a very good and tough game, now I feel like I wasted 4 hours. I also feel like the losers just aborted to avoid getting a loss.

Is this against the rules? Can something be done against this type of behaviour?

Did it abort with just 3/6 or 4/6 votes? This is disgusting. IMO the voting requirement for ABORT or KICK should always be 5/6, 4/5 etc. Or else it will be abused, such as in this case.

I'm really feel you man, sucks to waste so many hours for nothing.

Report it, we'll check it out. Games can be reinstated and players could get sanctioned if they aborted it unjust.
