Dealing with Stalled Games ...

[MyDarkSecret]

Hi all,

One of the common complaints we get from MyDarkSecret is that of
stalled games. So I thought I'd take a second and explain why can
cause them and some possible solutions.

The cause is a player has issued all of their challenges and facts,
but hasn't voted to move onto the next scene. When you have performed
all of your duties you are except from the "kicked out after 1 or 3
days of inactivity". The rationale is that there is nothing more for
you to do but wait for the other players ... so you don't want to get
kicked out during this time.

But you can see how this can backfire on us.

What I suggest first is for everyone in the game to blast the person
with "Out of character" chat messages and see if they come back. At
the very least they will get ticked off and leave the game.

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll kick them out manually.
Although I'd like to find a way to automate that, so any suggestions
for suitable conditionals/rules are welcome.

Hope that clears things up?

Cheers,
Sandy
