Are you 100% sure you tried that? If you bring up F10 and it doesn't show up, take a screenshot, send it in to blizzard. Even if it's not a hack / exploit, it's a bug and you can help make the game better by letting blizzard know about it. | ||

So anyways, I'm unsure about whether you can usually unpause... though i would assume not else you could just unpause and win while they are away, that would seem a big oversight in programming to let people who genuinely needed a pause to get a loss cause the other player unpaused. I have been sure sometimes that players have paused on me and just left, hoping i would surrender in the meantime, not wanting to wait. But I always wait ;p | ||

I had a game like that a few days ago, except I lost because of the macro loss from the unpause Obviously that's the standard outcome when you encounter dicks that do it. It's quite hard to come back from a lost minute. | ||

I understand the whole premise that one should set aside time to play when they start playing but unexpected things can always happen. Respectable and mannered players would understand this and allow a 2-5 minute AFK once in a while if its really needed. I'd much rather have a fair and even match then get wins. But I guess there lies the problems - most average players want to win at any cost, and don't care about actually getting better or having skillful matches. | ||

Agreed, people i think just dont understand that there is a world outside the video game they are playing so all they care or need in their tiny brians is that feeling of YES I OWNED THE AFK NOOB!! ... lol its hilarious sadly ive lost games actually quite a few mostly team games where some one pauses cus they have to do somthing then the other team eats thrue all our pauses just to start the game cus they are scared...I love utterly smashing some one when they get a few min headstart on tech/army/econ on me i laugh as they call me a noob while they die. | ||

Thats funny shit right there. Having a child myself, I have had to pause on several occasions, never had anyone do that to me though.....as you may have been able to tell from my first post, i wasn't aware that you could unpause when the enemy had initiated it... i will remember that for when someone pauses without saying anything and then doesn't come back for 10 mins.... though I am still sure i will feel like i "stole" the game.... @chill.... dude, your ban hammer deserves a knighthood soley for that one ban. | ||

When my opponent pauses I immediately write "?". Then I wait for ~15sec, if I dont see anything from my opponent I just unpause. If he writes something like "1min getting the door" I'll wait. It also depends on when the opponent pauses. If it's in after 20min I have no problem giving him 3-5min (5min is max though). But I had an opponent who paused after 5sec and said "Gotta fetch something to drink". I unpaused immediately. | ||

The people who really piss me of are the ones who pause, say something like "sorry brb" so I type "tell me when you're about to unpause" and do they bother? No of course not that would be gm. | ||
