I've incurred a large number of penalties lately from arena games that start without my browser switching to the game, then someone at the table ejects me before I have a chance to realize that the game has started. Is there a way to address this problem?
I feel like I'm getting the worst of both worlds -- I'm sitting there waiting/not playing *and* I get ELO/karma penalties for what seems to be slow communication between BGA and my browser. I feel like it often comes in waves -- that I'll get punted from two or three games in a row, and my karma will drop to the point where I'm no longer eligible for Arena mode -- and while I realize that it's frustrating for everyone involved, it's extra frustrating for me, because I *want* to be playing and am actively *trying* to participate. The penalty doesn't incentivize me to do anything different, it's just annoying in that I find out that a game has started and *boom* I'm already late to the table and/or have been ejected.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Suggstion: could we not ding karma for someone who's ejected before they interact? I don't care about ELO, but the loss of karma means that I can't chat or play in the arena.
