I was playing a game of 6 ppl. Over the first 3 days, 3 ppl resigned. 2 auto-resigned and 1 because he lost.
That left 3 ppl. Game was obviously skewed by that point.
Quite unsatisfying.

I suggest that if more than 50% ppl resign, or more than 2 ppl resign in the 1st 3 days, the game should end.
Having an unbalanced start like that just messes the game and gives an unfair advantage to the ppl next to the auto-resignees.

hi nmid, there's no way around people autoresigning, but what you can do is play in rated games, where you can set a minimum rating. that helps ensure that you get higher quality players.

another option is playing in private games where only people you invite can join.

and finally, you can create your own public game, and any time a player joins, you can check their stats to see how many games they played, how often they've resigned, and if you don't like what you see, you can boot them from the game (the creator of a game can do that from the game info page)
