Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
After the game was ended.
-
• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
I'm a new player, and accidentally joined a game that another friend wanted to play, I misunderstood when I was told I could quit and even though I would get a penalty, the other player would be allowed to join the game/ So I quit the game and got the penalty, but it didn't allow a new 4th player (the person who ran it shortly cancelled the game for everyone - we are all new and were trying to figure out how it all worked). The game does not appear in my "tables" list and as far as I knew it was finished.
Now, a few days later, I get an email telling me I'm running out of Time, and if I don't take my turn fast enough I'm going to get skipped and get ANOTHER penalty on my account. When I click on the link in the email, I'm not allowed to interact with anything on the page, it shows the "expelled" popup window, and also a red timer showing a negative counter. The error on top shows "Unexpected error: Can't manage zombie player in this game state (20) (reference: GS6 26/01 20:15:33)"

Report history
I was only able to access this table from the link provided in the "you're running out of time" email when it was already too late. This didn't appear in my "active tables" list or anywhere obvious I could see on my account.
I ended up with ANOTHER penalty on my account, for a accidentally clicking join (it was under the "ok" button popup when you load a game and it wants to refresh the page).
- Start a new game
- Have the 1st player quit the game before taking any actions (it's possible they have to quit very quickly, wihin a few minutes of the gam starting).
- Have the other players choose to abandon the game
- Wait for the 1st player's turn timer to run out
- Use the link in the email to find the table and have the 1st player take a tile.
Add to this report
- Another table ID / move ID
- Did F5 solve the problem?
- Did the problem appear several times? Every time? Randomly?
