Ran out of time

In the game...

...you can see:

"2006-11-15 20:34:49 - crimson19822 ran out of time
2006-11-15 20:34:49 - Incrementing game to round 9
2006-11-15 20:35:20 - crimson19822 receives 2 armies for holding B. C."

Im not saying that this is cheating but I thought that if you end one round you can't be the first one starting the next. What happened here?

[SirSebstar]

running out of time is apparently not ending the turn.
see some freestyle cheat/complaint

[Irenicus]

Looks like someone is using it? Can't say I like this.

[naktay01]

they technicaly did not end the last round because they were not the last one to "finish" there turn. I have had that happen to me. sucks in a freestyle game when you are in control of the game and someone does that.

i cant believe i havent seen this...i probably have, but didnt realize it...noobs dont finish so often and even i accidently move onto another before finishing...well all you can do is wait for an hour if you care about the game...surprise the hell out of the person when your still there...thanks for pointing this out...unfortunately...more will now use it i imagine...hell im tempted....

strange.. i hope they change this.

And AA... i am in a game with you... where it would be good for me to do this...

I really don't think he did it on purpose, he had the game wraped up anyway, if anyone bothered to actually look at the game they would see that he had 31 armies left when the game ended and got only 12 when started a new round.

So, he was not cheating

The player who triggers a new round is not allowed to take a second back-to-back turn and must wait for someone else to play.

Crimson19822 did not trigger a new round. As you can see, the round expired after a full 24 hours passed. So the double-turn block does not apply in this case.

[sully800]

Wow, crimson actually got really lucky. Had cashed 2 sets before the end and placed 45 men 30 seconds before the new round. If the round timed out after cashing the cards and before placing the men (as almost happened) those 45 men would have been lost forever.

[Irenicus]

For the record I am certainly not accusing Crimson. He won a fair game. I just wonder what happened.

[juventino]

i understand now.. it is just if you r times runs upwhen the 24 hours expires... ok.. =)sorry =)

[SirSebstar]

still with some good planning...
freestyle is busted

strange.. i hope they change this.

And AA... i am in a game with you... where it would be good for me to do this...

you dont need to do this to me to beat me as ive seen...ironically my turn ended because of the site as much as anything else...in way too many games...hoping youd join before i finished...not likely...but it was worth a shot...and then the site was so slow i got stuck in my other games...very glad the 24 hrs werent up...not likely in my games...thanks for the clarification also lack...that did seem too easy...at least if it happens like that, its obvioulsly planned
