Flaking, in the middle of a game.
Please don't do it. I feel like I can accommodate just about anything but this. When I sit down to play, I sit down to play knowing I may be in for 2 hours of pain and suffering (mine or the opponent's, usually mine). But now because somebody's friends came over I have a team stuck in a match in the box. I'd be less upset about it if this person was a teensy bit contrite about the whole thing but he left me sitting on his turn for 8 mins before I called a timeout. He asked if we could play later and I asked how much later because I'm mostly busy after this moment in time. I guess we're playing tomorrow at some point. Hope he has the patience to wait through the A.P.E. games I have scheduled with Nick for tomorrow...

You do seem to have one or two other teams that you could use.
If it is such a big deal get the game canceled.

sorry but RL does trump online games. If some friend came around yours unexpectedly would you really say 'just sit for 45 mins while i finish this'?
If you would, and they'd be fine with it, then i need better friends.

I've made one of my mates wait while I finished a game haha.

I'm with you. The proper thing to do for him would be to conceed but the administration prevents that. It's pretty much their fault. Ah well, nothing that can be done about it.

He could also drop without a word and you would still need to follow the disconnection rules. So no clue why he would need to concede, or why the admins would be involved in the first place.

Since my friends are gamers, they all just wait for me to finish. Its fairly hard to explain to my mother though, when I ask here to wait, or call later....

If somebody comes around my place unannounced, one of the risks they are accepting is that I am busy. Seems civil enough. Finish your matches all at once unless there's an emergency.

I hate to say it but...
If you can't dedicate the 90 minutes to play either
1. Don't play
2. Be sure you tell your opponent beforehand that you may become unavailable via PM if you're using Ragefinder, or try and get scheduled with me because I can wait.
3. If it's an emergency, most of us have hearts, we will understand. Friend coming over to show you a bong isn't an emergency.

Don't worry dudes. I don't think I'll be playing in the 'competitive' divisions again.

I really really try not to do this, and when I do, I apologize profusely. When people do this and do not make an effort to accomodate the victim in rescheduling, I really think it should be admin-conceded, rather than cancelled or merely ended.

Some of you seem to be adding facts... not surprising really. My biggest problem was with the manner in which this was done. I was asked a question, to which I responded with a question, and then had to wait around 10 minutes for a response. On what planet is that normal behavior?
I don't want a concession, I want to finish but between league games I've scheduled and league games I can't track down the play on or barely miss being on line it becomes something of a chore. And I don't want my online gaming to feel like a chore and the chaos factor of playing these games needs to remain on the virtual table top.

It is a disconnection. The procedure is clear.

If the coach does it too often the admins will be dealing with him.
As you said league/tournament games take priority. Depending on how busy you both are, possible time differences etc the game may well not get done.
It would be nice to get it done but it is "just a game". Isn't it?

'He could also drop without a word and you would still need to follow the disconnection rules. So no clue why he would need to concede, or why the admins would be involved in the first place.'
He could also spend all day on gamefinder and try to start one game after another without ever playing any. Doesn't make it the proper thing to do.
Same with the admins, they may not get involved and when they get involved it may be only to sanction such a concession. Yet there is nothing proper about it.
When there are two nice people who are trying to arrange themselves with each other, while trying to handle their various obligations, there should be a fair way to do it. All I'm sayin'.
