Does anyone know what happens when both players in a game are inactive when they pick territories, there is an autoboot, and both clocks wind down to zero? Who gets boot, if anyone?

Also, if this happens in a coin game, there has to be some sort of protocol, as if it were random who got booted, then they could not exist.

Someone randomly gets booted and the other wins.

I guess it's random chance, or there's a tiebreaker when both hit the boot. Once, in a livestream RT game, I forgot to play my turn, but my opponent didn't either, when I checked I was at 5 seconds; couldn't commit. Instead of getting booted, though, he did, and I won; I clearly didn't commit.

@ ge, woulden't that put a slight amount of luck into what is supposed to be a no-luck coin game?

IIRC, the behavior also changes for tournaments. In tournaments both people get the boot but- if the bracket necessitates it- one of them gets to stay in the winner bracket.

Isnt it related to move order? The player with the first order get booted first?

In this theoretical, both players are afk, and the autoboot runs down to zero.

The boots aren't during distribution, but I think this is relevant:

Both players got booted simultaneously in the finals, so nobody won.

So no one got the 896 coins? So Fizzer just raked in $8.96 more off that tourney than he was planning to, I guess.

Aura,when it is in a game where there is another round,one randomly continues.
