I always have, you were jsut the first Cry baby to post about it.

He's sitting on the boot button hitting refresh -- One of them was booted at 2 minutes and no seconds. Frankly -- you've learned a valuable lesson. And you only had to lose one game to learn it. Well done.

Duke, to be fair, with real-time games now showing the timer in the top right, there's no need to repeatedly hit refresh til right at the time..

Good point. I haven't played a real time game since the update. I've never played a sub 15 minute boot game regardless. Real time has never been equal to the boot time for me -- it means I'm not going anywhere until the game ends. Boot time is a measure of how much time I might need to grab a drink, answer the door or phone, take a leak, see what my wife wants, etc. (e.g. at least 15 minutes).

I play very quickly, I use the hot keys and can play a turn on a very large map in under 5 minutes almost all the time, but I would never agree to a 5 minute boot time because I have a life where interruptions come up that take priority over WL regularly. Even if it's 3am on weekend there's still the call of nature.

Thx ppl for participating.

@EZSTreet. The more this topic is quoted, the more your reputation is growing larger, which imho is good for the community. Next time think twice.

@Duke. That's right, lesson was learned, I was only ~100 games when it happened, and yet didn't realise some people create games on big map with very low boot time, like this one, just to get an easy win (hard for me to understand that...). Good to know. Hopefully it is the only time I saw that happening and I'm now more than 250 games. So I presume that is pretty rare, hopefully.

The reason why I created this topic is also to warn new comers of what awaits for them :)
