Hi guys, I'm sure it will have been brought up many times but I can't see it in search - I'm playing Blackbox and a team hasn't shown up (over 30 mins), is there an easy way to free up my team or do I have to email admin? It's very frustrating...

Thanks for any help.

*Edit - he's also been online twice during that time. Confused

It may be better to have a look at it first: https://fumbbl.com/help:DisconnectionProblems

I'd messaged him but no reply, he'd been on a couple of times since and didn't make any effort to contact me it seemed...

No shows and drops are treated differently. You can get an instant cancellation with a no show.

Ranked and box no shows are also treated a bit differently..... Unless things have changed of course.

Ok, it all got resolved by admin and my team was freed up, great! Smile

So as of right now I get my first game back with my unlocked team - same opponent... He's been online playing a lot since, has a very good win/loss ratio with all his teams.

It's now turn 7/7 in second half - it's 1-1, I have the ball in hand 2 squares from the line and no way for him to reach me, guaranteed win. He's disconnected. It's been 15 mins+ I can timeout but I'll give him a little longer, could be an honest problem... Maybe. But what do I do now? Even if I win I guess the results won't get uploaded?

Thanks for any help!

Through the link Khor_Varik provided there's info on how to deal with that. Basically they have 24hrs(I think?) to respond to the PM and after that admins can force the match through if nothing has been arranged.

Don't time out disconnected people, it's against the rules.
You have to wait for him to reconnect.
Send a ticket to the admins in the mean time and be patient.

Ahh cool, thank you. I'll go back and read through...

It's finally a team that's working well for me so I'd rather not write the game off. I hope the other player has honest problems as when I was stuck before and I checked him out it looked like he'd not been playing long but had very good results, hopefully this isn't the reason why. Sad

Thank you, I've PM'd him and will send a ticket. The admins cancelled the previous game on your advice, thank you for that.

Do you know how the game will be ended if he doesn't show or if I should even close the client? It's open on 50mins+ turn waiting, it seems very suspicious to me that he went when I was about to win, just before the final turn when there's no way to stop me scoring. I hope it's a genuine disconnect though.

If I close the client will I lose my previous turn if he disconnected before? That's what's concerning me really - I just want my fair win, I haven't had many in the time I've been back playing! I don't want to have to replay the actions I've done and risk it failing either! :\

As always thanks for all the information, I'm out of the loop and know it must be annoying!

You're welcome, I like to help! Smile
Don't worry, you can close the client anytime, the server will save the game at the point you are, previous turns will not be lost.
You and your opponent will be able to resume it from that point.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch for that, is reassuring at least! Smile

I can now go and relax without waiting anxiously at my PC. Smile

Have a nice evening!
