[risque] idea about drop-outs

[Bernhard Herwig <herwig@ruf.uni-freiburg.de>]

Hello all,
I had a few games, with someone quietly dropping out (meaning: he just
stoped sending moves).
What in that case happens is: The game slows down to 7 days/move.
After 7 days he is considered as somebody sending the "empty move".

How about changing the implementation on the server in such a way, that
somebody not sending in a move 3 times in a row is considered as
resigning. (I am not talking about people sending 3 times the empty move,
they dont slow down the game).

That would also fit well with the 21-days per move time restriction on the
server.

Any thoughts?
Bernhard
