Game Penalty from when my computer was off

[ermocito]

How does that even HAPPEN? What can I do about it?

Been playing here for over a year and that had never happened before.

Could you elaborate? You have multiple penalties.

When you look at the game, you can see what went wrong, out of time or did you leave?

[ermocito]

I'm saying there was a game penalty when I started my computer from off, which was from a game that started (and ended) about 15 minutes before I turned it on. It seemed to be an arena game, which I did not join. I don't really understand how that is possible. Does that indicate someone else signed into my account? Is there some other way that could happen? It had been at least 2 hours after I shut my computer down before the game began and ended. I've had game penalties before, but have never had a realtime game auto start when I was offline before today.

Maybe you started searching for a real-time arena game, and only found an opponent after 2 hours? Arena games have autostart iirc.

If that is accurate, then you would think that any real-time game shouldn't be started if the player isn't even on-line.

Why would you want to autostart a realtime game if the other player is offline tbh... That can be a source of penalties. I understand turn based but... I think sometimes I cancelled search but I still got a match actually.
