What is this report about?
What happened ? Please select from below
At some point I was unable to do ANY game action (game blocked and abandonned)
Detailed description
• At which step of the game did the problem occurs (what was the current game instruction)?
A player was skipped. Two other players quit (including myself). But then the game returned to the turn of the original skipped player and got stuck there. The game had to wait until the tournament time limit was reached.
Instead, the game should have autoplayed the cards of all of the skipped players.• What happened when you try to do a game action (error message, game status bar message, ...)?
I tried to click "skip turn", but it won't let me after I've left the game.
I tried to click "get back into the game" and get error message: Unexpected error: Can't manage zombie player in this game state (11) (reference: GS9 12/09 12:47:49)
So the only players that can force the game to proceed are the ones who have not left yet. But they don't realize they have an action to do, because it's not their turn.• What is your browser?

This is similar to this bug boardgamearena.com/bug?id=51986 , which has been labeled "wontfix". Perhaps this report will give more information that allows a fix.

Perhaps as a helpful comparison, a card game that I know, French Tarot, handles the autoplay of dropped players very well. Perhaps the code for zombie players for that game could be used here too, or help find the bug.

Similar situation but different game state: boardgamearena.com/3/forsale?table=416876458
One of the 5 players was skipped. Two other players left the game. I still haven't left the game, but the game is now stuck on the skipped player's turn. I click on Skip Turn of Players Out of Time and I get the error message:
Unexpected error: No players are out of time at now (reference: GS3 17/09 17:55:28)
So I cannot force the game to proceed. My only choice is to quit myself.
