It's definitely a bug then, because I've played multiple games with the filters working perfectly ok, and then just one it decides to ignore.

A few times, I've selected an automatic game with filters in place set to 'I never want to play with', and yet it still connects me to a game that has all of those filters I set this to. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's very annoying because you then have to convince people to abandon ...

One game's worth of karma hit is easy to make back though, so I don't think you need to worry.

Yeah, 10 easy really quick Railroad Inks or something.

You can not join games with play time in hours when you can't play. If you're using automatic, then go into your filters and change it there.

Having to ask for basic courtesy when going against what you agreed to by joining the game just seems ridiculous. I'll just continue to play within time and boot and punish those players that go over without communication. The fact hardly anyone else has anything to say about this makes me think I'm...

And nobody gives a toss. How absolutely telling.

This happens so often, that in the rare chance I go over time I'll take initiative and kick the person who happens to be more in the red. Unless we all actually communicate and agree not to that is.

I'm not sure that's the reason. If you're using the automatic settings and haven't changed your filters, "fast" is marked as "I never want to play with". So, to join a fast game, you've either deliberately changed your filters or joined manually, where it's clearly stated how fas...

To add to all of this, there seems to be a complete lack of communication from almost all players when they go into the red. Nobody apologises, and nobody explains how long they’ll be or provides any updates. If you sign up for a game with a timer and then go way over time, it’s rude and unsportsman...

I play fast-paced turn-based games, typically 12 or 24 moves per day, and I make sure to stay within the time limits. I carefully select games for times when I know I’ll be awake and available to take my turn. However, I've noticed that in at least half of these fast games, one player often goes ove...
