I keep quite a few games open in the Main Waiting room (and my Madhouse one).
Is there any way Fencer to do something about Pawns (mainly) who take games out the Waiting room then never make a move in them, mostly because they do not come back to brainking.
It is getting so tedious finding a load of messages in my Inbox about games being won by me because my supposed opponent never made a move and timed out.
OK , Great, i get a win, but then just have to create more games to put in the Waiting room and get no joy about it at all.
I do not know what really can be done.
Maybe as well as the win, we get a few BKR reward for our efforts

There must be something

MadMonkey: Actually you can do it. Just unclick the option for pawns to be able to take your games from the waiting room, before clicking on the continue to waiting room button.

Jules: I know i can block Pawns, BUT i do not mind playing them at all if they like there games and are interested in brainking

It just a shame when some Pawns accept invites then do not make a move or return to brainking again.
Its another invite wasted, so yes i create more. I do not mind trying to help people that are new to the site or anything like that, but it does tend to get annoying after a while.
There again as i said what can be done ?
We could be given a certain ammount of BKR if the opponent does not make a move after accepting a game OR maybe Pawns should not be able to take games from the Waiing Room unless they have signed on 'X' ammount of times.
Something at least
