Board Game Arena

Just an FYI, boots after 20 seconds in the last round of a game because he's not winning. Ruined a 90 minute game, when the person was not being slow or anything. Just trying to think about their last move and said so in chat.

Very poor sport, would not recommend playing with them at any point.

I'm sorry you had this experience, but the forums are not the place to air your personal beefs. Give them a red thumb and move on with your life.

And before you respond with "I'm just warning other people," "you can't tell me what to do," etc., you're right. I can't make you do something (although I suspect by the time I look at this thread again you'll be moderated). But the forums would become an absolute cesspool if everyone was allowed to complain about something someone did that they didn't like in a game, even if I happen to agree that what they did was unsportsmanlike.

No. They boot because someone else ran out of time. If you want to blame someone, blame the player who runs out of time.

In chess which also use a clock for your turns, the player who "flag" (run out of time) get an automatic loss, totally legit to boot no matter the position.

I believe in having more time to think than the time was allowed is also an advantage. support the boot
