I just pause. If get unpaused dont really care, is fun to play anyway, if there is no hope i just leave, i dont get mad, i can lose some points and doesnt really matters.

And sometimes i unpause, sometimes i dont. This is one of the things why i preffer to play with friends.

When you pause, it interrupts game flow a lot. Also, they don't know when you will come back. My rule of thumb is to give them 20 seconds and if they haven't cleared up what they need to by then I will require a good explanation that I agree with, otherwise I unpause.

I always unpause when somebody pauses. I don't start a game to sit around and if they lose because of it so what. I have lost games because I had to go afk and the guy wouldn't pause it's not the end of the world. If something is more important than the game and somebody does not want to wait then just deal with it.

If the other player give me the reason for pausing and how long i'm expecting to wait then I'll wait (to a certain limit).. but if they pause out of no where and don't give me explanation then i unpause.

I can see the caller ID on my phone from where I sit (and I put my cell just above my keyboard), so I can quickly decide whether I want to take the call or not while I'm playing.

Pausing sucks, it disrupts the game flow. I don't usually unpause instantly, but I understand people who do it in ladder games. It's slightly different when it's a tournament game I guess.

Sometimes it helps when there's a pause, you can sit back and have a think about how the game is going and what you should be doing.

For a ladder game, if they give a reason I'll just do something on my laptop while waiting. No reason = unpause.
No I'm never serious.

I always decide to give the person time, but really if you're a stranger, you don't deserve it. I'm doing you a huge favour by letting you waste my time. That's the type of thing I should only do for casual games with friends. No one wants to wait for you to go to the bathroom, or take a call, or jerk off, or whatever the hell else you might be doing. It's not that hard to set apart 15 minutes of your life. Let someone else answer the phone or let it go to the answering machine.

Totally irrelevant but can I ask? Is ICCUP down right now?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

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.



Haha.

I only pause for the door, I usually ignore the phone. I'm a pretty lenient person when it comes to pausing. If they give me any reason at all and aren't an asshole I'll usually wait. But if they pause without explanation and don't answer me, then I just get pissed off and unpause.

No.

I don't see how it can disturb the flow of the game, I've had many people make this excuse to me but I've never had a problem with it. If anything it helps you take stock of your position.

I never pause the game when im playing, if someones calling, then I'll just call them back, but I understand why people want to pause, allthough its slightly annoying when this happens.

You make a game, someone joins, they dont pick a race or say anything as an indication of wanting to play, then leave because you're just sitting there waiting.
Some times I've just started the game, only to see them leave later couse they werent ready.
If you're not ready dont join ffs, or at least say SOMETHING.

And sometimes they pause like 4 seconds after the game has started. Whats up with that, come the fuck on. And when there's slightly lagging, its never "are you lagging" or "it might be me lagging" its "?" or "????" or "?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????" and it just pisses me the fuck off, so I just reply "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" jesus christ I swear to God one of these days its just *rattattattatata*


LOL i hate that ????????????? shit too! next time i'll respond !!!!!!!!!!!!! as well hahah. i just start the games after "hi" "gl hf" and sometimes people leave after i type "hi" lol.

to the pausing and unpausing stuff, i think it says in the iccup rules somewhere that nobody is obligated to wait. therefore nothing can be done for those who can't wait like 20 seconds

I'd say, some people are dickheads, while others are friendly. I can see how a progamer has a busy life when training, but you playing SC in your free time doesn't count as busy. The pause in the game is also a good time to take a second to think how the game progressed, what you did wrong and right and what you want to do next.
That being said, without a reason given I just unpause myself, and otherwise I just wait as long as I think it is appropriate to wait. It doesn't take more than 30 seconds to tell a person you'll call them back within 15 minutes, so I'd roughly unpause at that time.

I should unpause more often, get some easy wins. Usually the thought doesn't even occur to me, I just kinda go "where the fuck did he go? hurry uuuuup "

depends on the game situation, if I'm way way ahead and I'm going to win either way, I usually just unpause because it's a waste of everyone's time, but if it's fairly even then I'll give them a few minutes. If the doorbell rings or something, you gotta go answer it, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If they're gone for 4-5 minutes then it must've been Grandma Millie coming for a visit so I just go

I wait about 2 minutes at which point I unpause, if you're gonna make a long call quit the game.

The argument you use in the OP works both ways, is moving up a rank and winning a game really so important that you're gonna make some guy you don't even know 3 minutes on you?
