Hey everyone,

I can't find an answer to this:

I'm hosting a private game wherein one of our players seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth. Our setting is along the lines of: after 24 hours on the clock, the player's turn will be skipped. However, we'd like to simply boot the inactive player from the game (waiting 24 hours for each turn is a total pain in the butt).

Any suggestions?

there's not a way for other players to boot a player (by vote or otherwise). only recourse is to wait for the skip/boot. they could offer up a surrender, which you could all vote to accept - but that still requires them to show up. 

sorry

That person will be booted after second skipped turn in a row. 

Unless they set it to the no boots just continual skip option

I thought there was some way to kick someone from private games if they took over a week or something. 

It depends on the settings when the private game was set-up.  If the settings are not allowing them to kick this player then I would suggest pm'ing tom and he can likely boot the player.
