Don't think so

"If Auto Boot is enabled, the force join will happen automatically when the Auto Boot time is reached"

of course only, if this statment in wiki is true

Hmm, if that is the case, it must have changed recently. It did not used to be that way.

I am trying to find an example, but there is one I am in where someone started creating chat games with all held up games, sending mail, etc to try and get people to force join other players so the games would be resolved. It doesn't work because tons of players are inactive now and won't respond to chat games or mail either.

I think it has finished now because of that change in the system (auto-force join). That is probably why I cannot find it.

I withdraw my suggestion. I already decline all tournaments without auto-boot now, so that solves all my issues.

Why has that game in Noob's tournament been held up that long though?

Hello again, 100 or 200 days is ok to wait someone but i must inform you that the waiting time is more than 6 months but i notice that the counting time is start from zero. and now says "waiting for 68 days" I suppose after the update the counting start again from day 1? There are also tournaments that there's no waiting time because the payers does not have join. In that case, the 101 days boot will work? because i`m sure that we wait those players to join almost from last Christmas.

Can you link the game in question?

I'd assume from what I'm looking at, the one game that has had, they inactive player got forced joined at 58 days by the other player.

It should kick in after it reaches the waiting 100 days.

and if you go through other completed games, i think you can see that it does force join after the 100 day waiting time.
So that would mean you need to wait two lots of the 100 days for each game to complete.
(if you look at the settings of each game, you can see when they actually started and work out how much longer you're looking at waiting according)

I was under the understanding that the forcejoin worked under the same concept as direct/autoboot. so a autoboot of 3 days would mean an auto-join at 3 days... sadly, I haven't tested it as of yet, but I will

autoboot will incite an auto-join..

I agree with auto-boot should be a default option however...
just like I hate how transfer only/attack only are no longer default options :S
