No because you are skipping over it in the list of games to play. You are not really stalling it.

From the opponents point of view, you are not taking your turn - I consider that stalling.

Actually stalling is when you purposely drag out the game. For strategic reasons it is just good strategy.

There is nothing to get over, I just stating my opinion, mate.
If this is intended for partnered-games then the compromise is to have the "skip" turn option be limited to those games.

It seems like you fail to realize that this is just a shortcut for manually going to My Games and selecting a different game to play. People who "stall" will do it anyway - no reason to make them suffer.

You can't disagree with the term - it is an accurate description of what you are doing. You might also think that it could accurately be described as "stall the game," but that doesn't make the current description any less valid.

Work! I love it for turns on my iPhone! If I don't have time to take that Hive turn now and I don't want to wait for pages to reload going in and out of the My Games pages... this is a super useful update!
