It would be disruptive to unilaterally resign or just abandon the game. You may vote to resign or for a draw that excludes yourself, but that does not end the game or your commitment unless a consensus is reached in voting from all of the players.
However, since it seems that you have lost interest in playing, I will seek a replacement player, unless you indicate that you wish to continue and can maintain the playing pace.
All, if you are interested in joining as a replacement, please send me a private message.
Due to the potential shake up of replacing a player:
Round 7 has been extended by 24 hours and will now end on 2020-08-23T00:00:00Z
This is just to ensure that a replacement has enough time to get into the game before their first deadline.
@李建澔2 has indicated to me via private message they are “not resigning”.
I’m still trying to seek clarification about whether they remain committed to finish the game and regularly meet the deadlines, however I have not gotten a clear response. For now, I will continue with @李建澔2 as part of the game, but will be ready to remove them if there continue to be participation issues.
I have arranged for a replacement player to take over the yellow position, in case that is needed.
However, if anyone else wants to join the list of backup replacements, please send me a private message.
@李建澔2’s second choice was at G2, colliding with an already existing stone, and their third choice was at C2, colliding with the stone already played by @HHG.
Hence, @李建澔2 did not successfully place a stone in this round.
Round 9 has begun and will end on 2020-08-26T00:00:00Z
Just to be clear, here is the current board state:
I’ve noticed that some players are getting frustrated at the Discourse system, which imposes a minimum character limit on private messages, when submitting their moves to me.
Simply typing the moves as a list, e.g.,
X1
X2
X3
seems to not be long enough. However, if you add a few words it is okay.
I recommend that players add something like “Moves for Round Y” as a prefix, which seems to be enough for the PM to work.
