I feel like just an automated message to the staller would be sufficient. The idea is to reduce stalling.

So I would say just improve stalling detection, with an automated message to suspected stallers. Maybe if this message is triggered enough times per a single game something to the effect of an MIA could be triggered on the suspected player? Perhaps even the application of an auto-ban onto the infringing player, as well, if this message has been triggered and/or they have been reported in past games?

Good Idea !
"automated message to the staller"

[untold swallow]

There are already automated warnings issued in-game for having a notbale advantage in troops when only 2 players are left

[light osprey]

Yesterday i had a game were the winning players had above 150 times the troop amount for more then 7 turns, when does the automated warning kicks in?

I know there is a message if you don’t make a turn and and have above X times troops advantage, but does the automated also works if the other player is cardblock and the winning player can still take 1 territory and keep the other player cardblocked?

I'm pretty sure it's low enough that it'll flag when you're building troops to take a final capital sometimes

whether they heed the warning or not is another matter of course...

[light osprey]

Thank you for the answer, good to know. Should there really be players that would ignore the message and continue the stalling?

I have no rights to post the picture here, but the player picked 1 territory a turn for 15 rounds while keeping the other player cardblocked. And it was no beginner, he was expert FFA.

I had it once flag falsely at the end of a caps game.

Do you happen to know if there’s anything in place to detect whether a player is using their full turn timer to do nothing, every round for a really large number of rounds in the late game?

In FFA caps, since it often takes a large number of rounds to finish a game, players who do this once they’re starting to lose, can really drag things out for the other players

[untold swallow]

I'm not sure outside of the 'taking too long' - are you there? message

some players just ignore the warning, yeah, however those players tend to get suspended then reach out asking why we suspended them 😄

Such a fixed small advantage is often times not enough to win in caps. You not only need to have the troops on board, but you also need them in a position to not allow your opponent to cap run while winning.
