Cheat?

Is it allowed to wait until you are the last person to finish the round - even though u start the round and just wait several hours or days, it is killing the speed of the game.

storm_lolhe plays that way in game 16221 - it is very frustrating.

it isn't cheating, but it is very annoying! we call it holding...and most everyone here hates it...the worst part is...you cannot do anything about it in your game except confront him/her...I'd encourage adding him/her to your ignore list when the game is over because usually people who do that will do it in all of their games...Sorry you have to deal with it!

EDIT: I just looked at the game and a pattern of holding hasn't really developed....maybe his/her computer crashed or for some reason maybe he/she cannot finish the round just yet...wait until the game has progressed, and if this is a pattern, say something about it...

Thanks for the advice - I will add him to my ignore list. And even though it looked to be good game for me i will from this moment look to end his involment in the game asap, not considering my own game very much.

Holding isn't possible anymore. If you don't end your round one hour after you started it, it ends automatically, without you getting a card. I've taken a look at your game, and I can't really see any holding? You've played for 3 turns, and in the 2 first he took his turns in a matter of minutes. This time he apparently forgot to end it or something. Doesn't matter anyway, since one person still has left to take his turn.

Check up on the rules before you start whining

Shouldn't have "ruined" your game over it. He'll probably be pissed now, with good 'cause, since you went out of your way, ignoring your own defences, to take his continent-bonus. Oh well

[anderselling]

to late now. But i would have taken his bonus anyway, he was the biggest threat.

Guess that makes sense. Should have protected your own borders too though
