- Say something before you pause to give fair warning it is happening. I remember in some Wc3 leagues you would get penalty points or lose the map if you paused without warning. - Give a reasonable time, no higher than 5 minutes. - If the person asks for a pause, give no higher than 5 minutes. It is battle.net though, and people will do as they please. But that is what I would do. | ||

This is totally off topic, but it just struck me as funny that the player base never applies their highly-developed APM to typing whole words. | ||

I typically wait a reasonable amount of time then resume. To greedy asshats rofloling easy wins. Realize you float up-or-down to your ladder rank according to skill level. If you're trash, you're still gonna sink to the bottom. | ||

Are you talking to someone? You aren't making it clear who you refer to. Also the fallacy in your post is that you say that as if those are the only 2 examples possible. There are many things that can happen, problems can occur in somebody's life that do not include a phone. I wouldn't be surprised if many people here would agree that wasting time to pause the game and chat on the phone would be very disruptive and would warrant a quick unpause. There are times where you should allow a short pause for purpose of being courteous, and times where you can ignore it and be justified in doing so. | ||

Trying seeing where that attitude takes you in life. Or maybe you'll have the pleasure of dealing with someone taking that attitude with you. And it won't be pleasant. People commit themselves to many things, but not everything always goes to plan. I would like to see you never try to take a day off work (for which you have signed into legally binding commitments) when you need to attend to family commitments. Or maybe you will try, and your boss will take your attitude and fire you. As Idra said, stop being an ass about it. Being an ass doesn't help anyone. | ||
