It certainly doesn't justify pauses where the opponents can't unpause, the chance of that feature being abused is quite high and would cause so much grief and anger versus the actual benefit of it. What's the worst that can happen when one of your allies loses control? You guys lose the game very rarely? The worst that can happen with a team pause is thousands of games extended extra minutes because idiots abuse the feature. Yeah, you are right. It's just so frusturating though! | ||

But then there are like the five minute long pauses where they just pause, say "brb" and then go off and do something. Fuck, if you have to leave the computer for it, leave the game. When I'm laddering and I get a phone call that can't wait, I just leave the game. If I have to go to the bathroom, I just leave the game. I think I've called for a pause once, and it was because I had to minimize the window, and it lasted less than 10 seconds. If you're going to play Starcraft, play Starcraft. If you have other stuff to do, leave the game. IMO it's common courtesy. I've played 2v2 and 3v3 games where less than a minute into the game, someone pauses and says "brb bathroom." Seriously. Go use the bathroom before the game? It's not that difficult to do... | ||

My schedule may not work with yours, guess you shouldn't of pressed the "find game" button....it's also not my fault for someone "inconveniencing" you by coming to the door or calling your phone or anything. You pressed "find game", deal with the consequences. This exactly. I don't mind waiting for a person who asks politely but I am no way obligated to waste my time waiting for things that inconvienience you. If you had to do things outside of your computer, it was your fault for choosing to play at the time anyway. You could say you didn't know it would happen but either way, if its really that much of an emergency, you can just leave the game. | ||

I'm not wasting my time because you need to answer the door or the phone or what have you, if you're not dedicated to the game at hand then you deserve to lose. If I do however have some time on my hands and the person asks politely to pause for a second I don't mind... but if it lasts over a minute I unpause. Just too impatient. | ||

I hate it when the game starts and the guy's pausing already, and especially the people who don't give time frames for when they're gonna be back. I too have limited time to play. | ||

However, objectively, this is how I see it: If you have to pause, it's your problem. Your opponent is not obligated to wait for you. | ||
