Issue With Chess Game

[Voltage Spike]

You need to change the ability to quit a game. The only options should be to play the game to completion or resign (admit defeat). Too many people are quitting in the middle of games just because things are starting to go bad. Changing it to resignation should give the other player a scroll and show that their opponent resigned.

I'm just saying that allowing a person to quit a game without any penalty for them or any reward for the other player needs to be fixed.

omg do you stop....i quit yes...i said i had stuff i had to do....i said you won....gee sorry my old mans wheel chair bound and i had to go wipe his ass...next time ill let him sit in it so you can feel more superior by actually mating me...which would not have happened it would ahve stalemated.

Assuming you 2 played, I have no idea, it isn't the first time he's been quit out on, we discussed it the first time it happened, 2 weeks ago.

We need to have a talk about this feud that seems to be going on. For now, please keep it off the forum.

Just something to add to this, I've noticed that for some reason, disconnects are very frequent for players on the battlechess board, It happened to Wraithlock a few times during the last couple games I watched him play. His internet itself was fine, we were on Ventrilo together, but he got disconnected from the server and none of us really know why. Maybe either the ping was too high or something, but here's my suggestion for the chess thing:

1. Do as Voltage suggests and have it where you only have options to play to the end, or quit, declaring the other winner

or

2. Have a type of timeout ability, say.....if the person gets disconnected from the server, they have 5-10 min to log back in, otherwise the game is auto-ended.

I think something similar would remedy the situation, cause I do know that most of the people I watch play, play seriously, and it's very frustrating to have their game cut short because of a disconnect. Of course, I'm not 100% sure how the game works when a person is disconnected, but this is under the assumption that the game ends automatically when one person disconnects.

Hope this was helpful =D

If I remember correctly, When a person gets dissconnected they have 10 min.s to re-connect or the game ends. I could be wrong, The idea of when someone resigns and the other person still gets a ticket is a good idea. I dont do much scripting so untill Morpheus, Colibri, or Lero come online you'll have to make due.

The challenger gets the option to end the game or continue when the opponent lags out.
