It does seem reasonable to ask the player who is waiting, at the time that the lightning bolt is about to strike, whether the player wants that to happen.
Yes, since it is not detrimental(is that the right word? 
) to anyone, it might as well be implemented.

I do not agree with all of your argumentation, but this looks like a pretty good idea. Iāve seen it being implemented on servers for other games and it works pretty well.

I am now genuinely confused by this new feature. I thought it was triggered by disconnect but now I am not so sure.
I just played a game as black. https://online-go.com/game/view/10071291 I played the first move. My opponent looked like a no-show so I move over to watch the other active game in that tournament. https://online-go.com/tournament/30503. I was relying on the move indicator at the top-right of page to alert me if my opponent showed up and played. Approx 2min later I get a notification informing me of my resignation (presumably struck down by Zeus).
My question is, what exactly triggers the āZeus Featureā? If it is triggered by not being in the game window then why wasnāt my no-show opponent struck down first? I realise thereās a few assumptions here but thatās why Iām confused. I canāt even be sure exactly what happened because death by Zeus is simply recorded as resignation. Any clarification greatly appreciated.
