It is my first day forming a table for casual play with 3 other friends. We were on our 5th hand, had bid and started to play when out of the blue, a robot replaced a friend. I tried to remove and replace the robot with my friend that was dropped again, but the software said it was refused. Are there a maximum number of hands you can play in casual play? We all logged off and started again, but it happened again. Please advise.

If a player is too slow to play then the system thinks they are away from the keyboard and will substitute them for the benefit of the others to continue the game. The person did get a warning.

To stop the system doing this, set "Permission required to play" in the table options and put "+slow+" in the Description of the table when you create it (near the top of the create window).

Then you'll be fine.
