That's exactly my point.. for example, it's frustrating for me - I played, spent time - and in the end, I have fewer points than those who didn't even try to play :(
I have heard a lot and decided:
1. If players tried to play, attempted to reach an agreement, posted in the thread, but for some reason did not actually play, the organizers will grant them a technical draw.
2. If players left 1-2 posts and disappeared completely, they will be given a technical defeat.
3. If one player is on the forum every day, messages their opponent via ICQ, leaves posts, etc., while the other "is considered missing in action," the first player will be granted a technical victory.
