You run out of time, so you lose. Why is there extra penalty?
Made even worse when you can't concede before 50%.
Shits happen in life. I totally don't understand the extra penalty on overtime.

Because some people don't care if they lose, so that's not a deterrent at all for them.

Because the winner(s) by expulsion don't get the full elo deserved by the victory, and with 3+ players the game is ruined, and you wasted the other players' time.

Which penalty ? Karma loss ? Unless you are a regular offender it's a non issue. And if you are, it's to protect people against you.

I mean for Arena games you're right. Losing the game is penalty enough.

Glah. While I am fine with the time penalty, being kicked after playing 2 eagles on the last turn of the game stings 172, highest score ever, and 'lost' the game. Pretty sure I was within a few sec of finishing on time too....

Even with two eagles, you still had 3m and 20s before you get kicked out. You telling me you really needed more than a minute per action?
