Licho paused and said he'd be back in 15 minutes. Took him 50. I unpaused after 40.

How should that be handled? In teamgames you can normally unpause right away since after 30s the anti-afk kicks in anyway, but what if there's only one enemy and he has to go? Unpausing immediately would obviously be bad mannered and ruin the game. Not waiting the 15 minutes (+- some) also sounds BM, but then what if he knew how much it'd take and said 50 in the first place? Asking to wait that long would've probably been somewhat impolite.

Of course each case is separate and it's best to use own judgement, but is there any official stance on this?

It can only be resolved through a system of adjudication. You submit the game for a result. if a player does not reurn within the specified time limit, the game should be judged in your favour. If however, you can not agree upon a pause time then the game should be judged based on whoever the likely winner is from a stragical and tactical viewpoint by a panel of experts.
Thats generally the only fair way to deal with it.

Submit the game? Panel of experts?...
Lemme know once you find some 'experts' who would willingly sit and judge pause lengths.

Besides, I don't give a damn about the result (and especially not post-factum). I want to reasonably balance me having fun ASAP (ie. unpausing) and not ruining the other dude's fun (ie. keeping pause).

Edit: smurf?

Sprung imo you shpud just resigned at this point :| because we have clearly lost.
AND PLEASE dont make central air again :| it makes it very vunerable.

Oh and Stridoor your sentences made no sense at all. There cannot be any "panels of experts" that is just blant nonsense.

I shouldn't have resigned because there was still PW stuff to kill. The question is also independent of the gamestate (what if it was midgame, or 1st minute).

That sentence right there Orfelius:- "...just blant nonsense"... its quite ironic because your own comment is indeed nonsensical. Did you mean blatant nonsense? if so, you should take more care with your insults and do them properly.

Well i suppose you are right Sprung. However i just dont belive how did you manage to kill that comand center and i didnt even think that would be possible.
As for your idea Stridoor: you have shown no interest in explaining it in clearer words neither you did not say how would you make it work. Oh and excuse me that english is not my native language and i make typos in contrary to yours' perfect spelling of every word in your posts. Also I suppose distracting other people from the main topic is a speciality of yours, wich reminds me of someone.

I dont know why you are being so hostile Orfelius, I made a post in good faith trying to make a suggestion, and you unleash a barrage of insults for no reason.
I am done with this thread, I will save my ideas for people who are more receptive and can make constructive critisicm without resorting to blah blah blatant nonsense, accusations etc. Paranoia much?

I don't know why am i being so hostile either! It may be just because dont little blue gnomes or it might be another reason. Who knows. Saying that i will do somthing that will propably surprise you! I apologise for my earlier hostilines.
So please could you now enlighten me with this idea of yours? It would be very swell if you could explain it more. How would you install panel of experts into ZK. Whatever it is.
