Delaying games?

OK.

Should delaying round endings, i.e. you're the last to go (team game) and your RL friend is not back from wherever, so you wait for him to get back before ending your turn, be permitted? I have had many people do taht to me and it's quite aggravating, because it's almost a real-time game, and then somone will go ahead and delay it for a half hour, while they are there, and then end their turn.

VERY ANNOYING.

For instance look at game 9796 and game 9797, both players, Carmoil and Heaze(hope you guys don't take offense) have been delaying the games, look at the time differences in their logs. I wait to play, and I believe they are in college so that when one has a class, or both, they delay the games.

it is frustrating. I'm in a game "holding" is happening. I've just decieded to fight back by "holding" myself. Hopefully Lackattack will put in a turn time limit.

Yeah I think that turn limits is going to be something that will be emplimented soon. I'm sure Lack is busy with other more important things like getting the server workign properly again.

The holding thing sucks because there's no way to stop them and simply doing it yourself only makes them continue to do it.

I would especially like to say that holding on Double turns aloud is one of the most annoying things in the world, holding is just waiting for opponents to leave before they continue their turns in next round

And I do not think this should be allowed.

ok the holding does truly suck made me go to all seq games... but it isnt cheating just dogging the system and intill a timer is set theres not much that can be done bout it...

I know it's not cheating, but I just wish there was a rule that says in _____ games, holding is not permitted. Or something of the sort, you catch my idea.
