What is supposd to happen when play time hits 0 ?

I just had a game online with a guy going afk 2 min after the start. I wasn't sure why he stopped playing and I was curious to see what happens when the timer finally hit 0, so I did not leave the game.

Truth is nothing happend.... The timer just stopped at 0 and his turn did not end. So basically if your opponent goes afk you have to leave the game and get a loss...

This obviously has to be fixed, or was it just a bad luck bug ? In this case, what is actually supposed to happen ?

I was although wondering, since the board game got this "no calculating points or you get a penalty", should'nt we have some limited time for each turn ? With 45min of playtime you can literraly sit there with your computer and calcute everyone final score way too easily...

I also noticed that the timer is not accurate. During my last online game, I noticed that I had ended my turn and my time was still counting down while it was other players' turns.

That happened several times.

Similar situation recently. I just played a 3-Player game where one player either disconnected or left on the 17th turn (while they were choosing an Encounter option for Polonia, if that's relevant info). The remaining player and I didn't know what was supposed to happen. We waited for their time to run out and it finally did. Then... nothing. We just sat there continuing to wait.

Eventually we decided to quit. I quit out and lost some points. Worse, though, I think I lost some Karma, too. Annoying.

What is supposed to happen when someone times out, anyway? This was my first experience.

I'm not even sure how passing would work. There isn't a passing mechanic in the board game. The closest thing you could do is select another action spot and decided not to use any of the actions.

The options, in this, would be to either kick the player or just take the next action, to the right, and do nothing. I think it would be better to kick them. With the Enlist mechanic, you could be at a disadvanatage being next to someone that never does the buttom actions.
