During my most recent game, I needed to pause because the phone was ringing and I'm expecting an important phone call. Well, you can all imagine how this goes, I accidentally hit "F-10, n" instead of "F-10, p". Don't as me how, muscle memory I guess.

I just froze, so embarrassed. I messaged the guy and he goes, "so apparently 'pp' is the new 'gg' lol"...at least he was funny about it.

Yeah, I know that mistake is old hat, but I'm mad and this is my blog so I can cry if I want to QQ

If it makes you feel better I have quit after getting supply blocked. After you play a lot of games, at some point you stop caring about loses.

RE: title
NO!

We all make mistakes sometimes ^^ but when pausing, if your keyboard has a Pause/Break button, pressing it will pause the game. Hope this helps ^^

Ah well, at least you won't have to worry about the game when you took that phonecall.
Tough break ):

I've done that before, but for much stupider reasons (ie nothing important).

I must admit, your opponent's response was pretty awesome.
Tough luck though man. hopefully this blog gets it out of your system!

Friendly tip, the Pause button on your keyboard will pause the game. >.> I find it so silly how many people are unaware of this despite the game telling you to press that button (Default hotkey) when the game is paused.

I once didn't leave a game because my girlfriend was calling me. The freezeout I got from that was unbelievable.

We're broken up now, but I still never hesitate to leave a game at the drop of a hat now for anything that begs my attention in RL. Leaving a game you're losing because "Dinner time!" is totally acceptable to me
