I thought the button to expel you is only there when your timer is running. How do you expel someone whose turn it is not? They didn't expel, they conveniently used the fact that you can leave and neutralize the result when your opponent is out of time. Not getting a win, but avoiding a loss. Not t...

Still isn't great and still doesn't fit competitive values. In that case it means they are someone who will do bad things when they are afraid others will do bad things to them. No it's someone who is abiding by the competitive rules set. If the person kicked in the first instance, people would sti...

That's when you read the worst intentions into people's actions. I try not to do that. I can see that, but it's not like any interpretation would be great either. I mean, even if I'm wrong and they just got fed up, they are still someone who doesn't care much about competitive values. Maybe the kic...

..., when in reality they were never planning to let them win. But this is not true. In this particular game, the opponnent let them play on and OP at some point had +6 hours of thinking time. They wouldn't let them get back into the positive, if they were never gonna let them win because atthatpoi...

I was playing a turn-based game of Arnak with another player and unfortunately I was too late with my next move because I was unavailable for a bit more than a day, resulting in minus clock in the game.

Here is the problem: In 2 player, there is no advantage to ever doing 2 actions except for when you want to place a tile combo or grab 2 milestones at the same time that are contested. There is a clear advantage to only doing 1 action that is constantly in effect. Namely that you can see what the o...

It seems like the matchmaking for this game does not work very well. I am not a great player and am relatively not that experienced yet, so my elo is around 130. Yet, all the time I am matched against primarily Chinese players who seem to play a lot (fast responses 24/7 in turn based) and are also v...

A lot of people on here complain about the occassional leaver ruining a game. Personally, I encountered this very little, to the point that it's negligible. Something I do see a lot though when playing on BGA, is people actually spamming in chat about others having to play faster, while other player...
