Hey,
Anyone ever had this happen? Just got a game in my inbox from a person I haven't been playing!
The position I am in is not my style of playing at all and I keep track of my games, so no, I am not crazy or drunk and so on. It certainly is not a game I wish to continue, but neither do I wish to lose rating points by leaving it. Suggestions? I did ask in the help section so we'll see if there is any, help.
Cheers
Paul
Originally posted by boononI had a similar problem once, was indicated as being in a game that already had two players. I couldn't move, had no pieces to move or be attacked, but I was still showing as playing the game.
Happened to me last week. I wasn't able to end it either ( click the garbage can).
Sounds like maybe the RHP database got jumbled up and several players got switched around. The game you're in now, was probably being played by another player and some glitch occurred where it became your game.
RHP should be able to remove you or fix the issue.. never happened to me.
LOL "I'm not drunk," heehee thanks for putting that out there... 🙄
Originally posted by sumydidWhat is RHP? Still not drunk, maybe a little crazy, but as two guys met, they were introduced as "Crazy Jim, meet Crazy Ed", and Ed said, "Yea, everybody is nuts".

Originally posted by boononSo if I click the garbage can, I don't lose rating points? Not that big a deal if I do, rating is not great, and I don't really care because I play for fun, not ego.

RHP = Red Hot Pawn
To see the garbage can, you may have to scroll to the right.
To prevent people from sending you challenges that pop up unannounced in your inbox, do this:
In the navigation bar above click "My Settings" then "My Challenge Settings". From that screen you can control what kind of games show up in your inbox. If you wish <no> games coming in without your knowledge, put max games = 0.

Originally posted by paul1144Garbage can appears in the Actions column on the right of the screen. It disappears after each player has made two moves. After that your only options are to play the game, or to lose points. So if you get an unwanted challenge - and this happens frequently - just bin it immediately. You can set your Challenge Settings to 1 or 0, but bear in mind that even your friends won't be able to start a game with you, unless you put them on your buddy list and tick "accept buddy list privileges" in your settings.
I don't see any garbage can anywhere, and I clicked on skip this game and nothing happens. Going to message the other player and see what that does.
Another point: it's OK to bin any game you don't want to play right now, even if it's someone you know. We don't get offended. 🙂
