I just think the current version of autopass needs to be scraped, and put in its place is a proper autopass - that will work in all games where a "pass" can be made.
I would think a simple auto message of "Your opponent had no move, so the game came back to you.". Any messages should just be shown when the opponent does have there next possible move. And then an auto message to the person who passed would be "You had no move(s) on the ## last move(s), so the system autopassed for you".
Plus each person can decide if they want the system to autopass for them. So for example, if I choose to auto pass but my opponenet does not - if it comes to me and I have to pass, then I should be able to autopass. If it goes to my opponenet and they choose not to autopass, then they can take the time to hit the "pass" button. I don't see why the current system will let 1 person dictate how the other person players their autopass.
And again, all games that have pass - Gammon & Ludo are the big 2 that come to mind.

Then for gammon games with cube, what I would like to see is when a person gets there first roll/double - then pass option if they are blocked, a little button to say "Roll & Autopass until next possible move" - so that will automaticly choose the roll & then pass until they are able to move again. (so then after they move, they will again have to roll & choose the option again if they are back into a pass position after making a move on the board.)
Autopass would be a great feature for this site - but I just don't consider what is here right now to be autopass... just a very weak version of it.
coan.net: Well said!! In support of this suggestion I am going to disable my autopass option until a better version is implemented. Anyone who doesn't like it should do the same, otherwise Fencer can say 'look how many people are using the autopass, they must like it'
Along with an autoplay idea, i would like to see the ability for the server to determine the single legal play for a given checker. This will eliminate the need for the Swap dice option in all but the cases where a single checker can use either die.
jryden: I ain't going to disable my autopass - the rare occassions where I do get an opponent that has autopass enabled, I don't want to lose.
And I'll continue to delay moving in an autopass situation when my opponent hasn't enabled autopass - I marked all days in December as vacation days for no other reason to not have to move in a hand full of games where all I can do is pass, but where my opponent insists on me pointlessly hitting a button.
