Chim seems to have known that if you are going last on a turn in Mongol Empire and timed out instead of ending your turn, you could start a new turn before anyone else had a turn. This allowed him to win the game when he was outnumbered 2 to 1. I find that not quite kosher. It's an abuse, but it's an abuse of a rule that shouldn't be there in the first place, imho, not sure what happened to allow that to happen. Usually when someone ends the previous round, they can't go again until someone else starts their turn, that didn't happen here. I would like to ask that the hole be removed and that Chim get a little "please don't do that kind of thing" note. Thanks! cptbeefalo

It's a loophole regularly exploited -- don't play freestyle without expecting to be double-turned.
