joshi tm: Nice idea. Unfortunally, the majority of the games I play are against people who aren't new, and don't have autopass turned on.

Now, I can't prove it, but I think most of them don't have autopass turned on because they either don't know about it, or don't care (and then won't take the trouble to turn it on).

Oh well. I recently played my first game where autopass was actually used. (And I now have a couple of games that drag on because I have a pass and I'm not passing until the game is about to time out - if my opponent doesn't want autopass, he'll just have to live with loooooooooooooooong games)
