When I first tried out the game I accepted a challenge from a Mentor who apparently doesn't have time to play. This game has a special -1 turn limit, so I assume Mentors can choose infinite expiration.
How can I drop this game? Even Mentor games should eventually time out.

Dear Festy,

The timed out game should be in the "Waiting for turn" section. Go there, find the game and click on "Finish the game".

Hi Festy,

the game isn't infinite. It has a turn limit of 14 days. Keep waiting and get your first 40 points ;-)

Inna - the game hasn't timed out. I don't know if it ever will.

Keule - So are you saying that the displayed time limit of "-1" is actually "14"? Is this a known bug?

dunno whether it's a bug or a feature. I think these games are automatically created.
My Mentor game ended after 14 days although it had a -1 limit.

It's not a bug. It's so you can eventually clear the game off your list. Back when MA released, it really was an infinite time limit, but the 14 day time-out was put in because people would be jerks and stop playing when they started losing the battle.

And hey, people still do that!
All my wins are time-outs.... :-?

There is a simple solution for that - you can challenge people with higher ranks ;)
But do not choose someone whose rank is much higher than yours, otherwise you probably will just be slaughtered. You can say it's an old/obvious/boring/wrong advice, but believe me, it really works.
