You have to decide that for yourself, but I'd write a mod, give 'em my password to check the chat logs, and let them decide if that is unacceptable metagaming. If they feel it is, they can force a pause.

Or what draugnar said seems more reasonable

That's pretty sorry in my opinion.
I doubt you are asking for some arbitrary reason like you need to...
I am drawing a blank.
In a 5 min round game you may need to use the WC or in a longer phase most of us have jobs kids school etc. I have all of the above.
I was given advice a long time ago. As an employer it is not up to me to decide what is important in someone else life. Someone wanted time off for the funeral of their priest. Who am I to decide that? If you are not able to continue because of something I am sure is important then pause. Has this person posted that to press? If not you should and everyone will probably bash him. I would.

This is one of the reasons I think pause requests shouldn't require 100% agreement.

what precent of the seven should it take then?

6/7 ? 5/7 ?

or just simple majority?

Out him.

NPRZ... i disagree.. pause requests should be 100%... why should 5 losing players get a pause when ONE guy is about to win? makes no sense.

but yeah... write the mods, use the email Draugnar gave... and out him. I'd like to know who the turd-blossom is that would make such a demand.

Simple majority of SCs. So, if 3 out of 5 players want it, but the other two hold more than half the SCs, it doesn't pause. Pause votes should be based on current size in the game. Draws should still require 100% agreement.

so 5 players with a combined total of 18Scs can delay a guy with 16 from winning? This only makes sense if we are playing with gentleman, but I have lost count of the number of times someone takes 24hrs to disband their lasst unit when they have no other choices just so they can hold the game up. If we give further delaying powers to such people they will abuse it.

I have recently seen such a player enter provisional orders as soona s the turn progresssed but still didn't finalise for 24 hours.

agreed with Maniac... and this suggestion, specially coming from a guy who admited to NOT unpausing until the other player agreed to a draw???

this is like asking for abuse...

no way it will get accepted by Kestas or be liked by the community... sorry Draugnar and NPRZ... dont think this is an idea that'l fly.

by the way dave... sooo... who was the guy?
