It's pretty ludicrous how people at D (!) level are so content on snatching points to the point they'll unpause me 3 times in a row.
Basically I was playing a ZvP Destination and opening with a 3 hatch spire -> lurker build and got to 5 bases relatively easy.. at this point the phone rings, I pause and answer it, 3 seconds later he's unpaused and A-moved his dragoon/templar army in lurkers.. I pause, and he does it again... this time I don't notice until like 30 seconds later where my army's wiped out and he's on his to my 4th gas.. I pause once again (lol) and suprise.. he unpauses.
I continue playing but not with any confidence, with my resources now at 2k/2k.. and eventually I lose =(
I don't know what I'm expecting with this blog, I'm just kinda surprised that people go so far as to move up a rank (this win brought him to C-), be it hacking (hacking on iCCup lol wtf) or just simply unpausing.

pausing sucks, did you at least write what was going on?

Of course, I typed '1 sec phone' or something

It's pretty irritating when people pause, especially if they don't say what's going on. I'm there to play, not to watch a paused screen. Take care of your business in between games. Mute your phone. I don't unpause right away, but I'll countdown from 5 to 0 really quickly and then unpause. If you can't play all the way through, don't bother starting the game. Think about others, too.

Well, if you don't tell him why you need to pause he'll be like wtf.
It really really sucks that unpausing isnt against the rules
Next time tell the person on the phone to wait a sec, set up a good defense, and then pause. when he runs his army in you can be like, LOL UNPAUSING JERK!

Read the post above yours? I did say I was on the phone.
'Think about others, too.' this contradicts your entire way of dealing with pauses, so wtf?
I mean fuck I'd understand if I was on the phone for like 2+ minutes, but most of the time people will just say 'Can I call you back?' then return to the game 20 seconds later.. that's common sense to me t.t

I bet they were Koreans
Americans (or at least, English speaking people) always wait when I say 'hang on, phone' or something

when my handphone ringss,i try as hard not to answer and continue
+ Show Spoiler +when both phones ring at the same time,i want to yell STFU to the phone
i hate phones since the day i born,cos they interrupt my games

You forgot to type "ppp" to request a pause.
This is probably the most grievous error you made in this match, and is probably the reason why your opponent unpaused on you.
You should be glad nothing else happened. If he had reported you, you would've gotten a forfeit loss, received a warning, and possibly had your entire city banned by ICCUP.

Doesn't matter if you said you were on a phone, I just said "especially", my opinion still stands. Why don't you just mute your phone and call back after the match is over? Works for me. I actually have never paused a game on iccup for the year I've played SC now. How might that be possible...

I never pause during the game and I do not unpause until there is some good reason for pausing the game.
I'm here as well to play, if You don't have the time or Your expecting some phone call / friend visit or w/e don't play, that's it.

I give the pauser two to three minutes the first time. After that, fuck it, I unpause almost instantly if there's no explanation.

if its my mobile i talk and play, and yeah pepole who do ladders tend to like to go up, even at the expense of your convenience

hhhhmmmm a lot of opinions regarding unpausing...
I myself hate to pause the game but what if the phone call is really important? well, good thing there are other people here in the house that can answer it for me.
But, in any case there are still other players that are mannered that they would be for about 10 minutes. (which is very bad for my part, since I'm making him wait for me)

SC is more important than you lol
pausing the game really get into my nerves,out of 10 games theres like 3 games with stupid pause and wasted my time waiting for them.If they pause for like 5 secs,i dont complain at all but if its for few mins i will unpause without notice and 1a2a3a him making sure he will remember the consequences of pausing
