I do not waste my opponents time and he should not try to waste mine. People answering their phones during a game should not be playing in the first place. | ||

Most common scenarios are: pausing at the start of game and going afk for god knows how much time, pausing in the middle of the fight when it's clear he is loosing (both the fight and the game) with no comments or somtheing like: brb phone, then going afk for 10 min. Pausing during tense moments when it's obvious he just needs to distract you, etc. Another retarded bs is talking random irrelevant stuff like "gl hf, where u from", "zerg's so op", "did you watch maru's last game" and raging about you not answering (most hilarious) then loosing and blaming it on you. So i block everyone from the start mostly because i don't know how to react to such people. I cant tell if they are sincere (just want to chitchat), or try to distract me or troll (while proxing me or else). Whatever it is though, i'm not interested in any of these things. I'm just here to play. What's also important about not being able to see the chat during a game is that it actually helps you to keep focused and calm, because you never know what can get to you on emotional level during (after) most intense games. | ||

Did you and the other super-nerd who posted above consider that some people might actually have a life outside of the game? You guys are pathetic... | ||

Ah yes, because you always know in advance when you're gonna get a phone call or someone rings at your door. The nerves on some people... The rare times someone pauses on me, guess what, they're not away very long, they come back and ask if I'm ready, and we move on with a real game. Not some cheap ass win you got for being an absolute dick | ||

But they wrote GL HF, they have them manners I don't know, I'm angry about every pause because I don't have the time to play as I used to have and yet I don't unpause. | ||

Not some cheap ass win you got for being an absolute dick I dunno, if you don't have a problem with people answering the phone during a game, that doesn't mean others have to accept it, am I right?  If it is an important call, or someone is knocking on the door, you gg out and focus on IRL issues. Simple as that. If it is not important, you don't answer the phone and call up after the game. *shrugs* | ||

Would you skip someone turn in a tabletop game if his phone start ringing in the middle of it? Or because their partner came in to ask if they had something planed for supper? It's basic courtesy at some point. If someone pause for 5 minutes without saying anything it's one thing, but straight un-pausing is just being a dick. | ||

Then I wait 15 seconds making sure that they have left their computer before I unpause. That is something I reserve for Protoss players though. | ||

"Waiting 15 seconds to unpause is being a dick, therefore unpausing right away is actually mannered!" Genius, keep at it | ||

That's the next level of stupid. Also, you prefer playing a useless game (against an afk opponent), rather than waiting a minute? Just play against CPU then. I don't understand. | ||

It started with people pausing and leaving without any explanation, which, in my opinion makes it also ok to un-pause without any further explanation. If you disagree, you are a welcome. I have no problem with that. If someone paused and asks for a break to fix the mouse or whatever, I have no problem with that either, but I think you better explain why you need to pause the game. That is common courtesy. Anyways, this is not something I think is worth a lot discussion. It's just  | ||

I'm sure you can find it on his youtube or mixer videos from a week or two ago, if you want. I don't think a profile with 32k games really spells out troll or bot. And...if you "know" avilo...he will type 5 sentences before you can even finish the first. | ||
