Fair play issue
Question to curling players:

If you set a 10-end game (possibly skin) and your opponent doesn't deliver any stone after a few ends, his 2 minutes expire, 
what do you do and what do you think is fair play to do ?
 (Some come back, some don't)

a) don't do anything, just wait for him to return
b) deliver the stones in the side line
c) deliver the stones as if he were there
d) leave the game
e) something else ( what? )
Drink a coffe and play your stones:>
Play until you have a big enough lead that you leave. If your opponent returns before that, great! This is exactly why the timer is there.

If you've scored a couple or three 8-enders that should be enough to quit. Your opponent is obviously not returning or waiting for you to quit. With a big enough lead the program won't give him enough to win.
Some opponents return, some don't. Recently, one who returned said I was rude for delivering my stones while he was missing. I hadn't even put up a wall, I had just delivered those stones randomly in the house.
It's rude for him to just not play and make you wait. People should choose a time when they can manage to play within the time limits, if not even quicker.
Draw your stones until he come back, if he/she dont come , run when you have points enough for leaving the game. It's more unfair to just not play and make you wait. Personally, I hate waste of time :-)
