GEmp: Is there a place where we can report bad player?

[Gartax]

I mean player who do not make any move in 10 minutes because they are loosing?

someone being tilted and conceeding isnt a reason to put them on a "bad player" list.  maybe thornicate was having a bad day.

i played bilbo, redbook, elrond & ring at 2 and he conceded. I asked what happened. He just left. Said nothing...

Well, I actually don't see anything essentially wrong with it, you wrecked his fellowship badly, so perhaps he assumed a shadow kill was his only out, and then the fellowship side of your deck set up, and he probably couldn't beat it as well. I don't know why a player should be forced to endure a boring game where he just goes through the motions when the other deck clearly will win. Same goes for thornicate and ket, perhaps his deck was designed to win with the fellowship side, racing, and his shadow side merely cycled. Conceding when the match is clearly over allows both players time to play more games (and have better games to remember after), something specially important when you don't have a lot of online time. IRL, it also gives you time to go eat/drink something, if you're in a tournament, or to jam more matches together, if you're just having fun and want a "win/loss ratio" afterward, so that's why it's also a common practice among players who attended the tournament scene.

I agree in principle, but (if I were in that situation) I'd try to at least say goodbye before conceding.

[Ringbearer]

If that is an offense, he doesnt stand alone.

Sure, politeness has its place (in the case of ket, though, thornicate did seem to be, at least), but then the problem is not the game situation at all (that he quit at site 2), but that he's not a polite person/player, which, by itself, would be enough to, yes, put them up as bad players, though I'd be willing to let offenses slide if the player came back to apologize after a while. Sometimes, right after taking some bad beats, people are just not in the mood to congratulate. What can I say? There are a lot of whiners and sore losers out there, it happens. The problem is when being a sore loser spills over, like mager moving stuff around on GCCG, people cursing in the middle of a game etc. "Needing a little time", by itself, would not be an offense, at least to me.

Sigh, playing Focker and he says he has to leave, instead of Conceding the game, he lets it sit and I have to wait for the time to run out, very frustrated because your never sure if you can do something else and the person could come back and press something and then you lose because you thought they were gone.

I had this happen to me recently, except with a different player, I forgot who. He said "good game", didn't concede, left me sitting there. Thankfully, Gemp timed out and let me win after 10 minutes of waiting for him. It didn't have to run down the full hour left on the clock.

I should also point out that, in fairness, sometimes players crash in the midst of the game and their opponent quits in frustration. That happened to me also. My computer spontaneously rebooted, and by the time I got back onto Gemp, my opponent had left.

[MADG0BLIN]

Same here. I start a game with Elvenman. As soon as I bid he leaves and is not there anymore. Had to wait for time-out to win.

BAD PLAYER ALERT: Codenm - leaves without conceding at site 4 when his ents/hobbits are going to get owned by Dunland.  said nothing and never returned. I had to wait for him to time out.

Don't play with galestel either. I joined his table and made my bid, but he did absolutely nothing, forcing me to wait 10 minutes without a single moment of the game being played. If you're gonna start a table, there's no reason why you can't play when someone joins you. Ridiculous.

Sometimes, people (including me) do other things while waiting for someone to join. That's why it would be helpful if a sound would be made when a player joins.

[bibfortuna25]

Actually a sound does play when a game is started.
