Unresponsive players

  Apologies if this has been posted before.

  I've played a couple of games with people who stopped responding in the middle of the game (did they drop dead?). On their turn, the timer goes from 90 to 0, shows a warning, timer from 90 to 0, penalty, timer from 90 to 0, penalty. Dunno what came after that as I had already jumped out the window in frustration by then.

  What can be done in such cases? Can we have a 'kick' vote option?

  This happens a couple of times a day for me using google chrome and WGT. After finishing a hole the screen becomes unresponsive and will not bring up the players name to begin the next hole. Google gives me a dialog box that my screen has become unresponsive, wait or kill the pages. If I kill the pages and try reopening the game I cannot find the game I was playing?

  Maybe they succeeded in their intention: Drive you crazy with their behaviour, win due to your frustration.

  The more friendly option is that their game client may have frozen, they didn't notice and their game wasn't disconnected (which would have given them the chance to restart).

  To help such ppl, you might propose they close and re-open their browser window (game client).
