Today i was playing a game vs a guy rated 2110 on cuetech so obviously very good. Im rated around 1800. This guy was spanish and i was ports, however the scores were very even, i had just seen his army. Allthough is was big, i had the perfect counters. I had culvrins for his falconetes and i had dragoons for his lancers are well as organs and cacas for his masses of pikes. Then ..oh crap the phone rang. I paused the game and went to get it. I came back and it was unpaused. I kept trying to pause but this SON OF A ***** simply wouldnt let me, he didnt say a word, i cudnt concentrate on the phone call and the intensive micro at the same time. My dragoons get the lancers but were eventualy pwned by the pikes, i also couldnt concentrate at all on macro as i was having an important call, not just a little chit chat. Needless to say, i got off the phone with half the amount of settlers i started the call with and then it was just GG...i mean SG. Is there anythign one can do? I could report him to eso but i dont exactly think that there is a rule saying one MUST except somebody's pauses. That would be stupid. I could go blabbing his name but that would seem a bit tasteless. Is there anything one can do except just move on?

I had a kid do this to me today where he paused and I was nice enough to let it go and wait but not for nothing but why the hell pick up the phone during a game? everyone seems so compelled to answer their phones. I dont get it.

yes i did tell him that i was on the phone but he either didnt speak english or didnt give a flying.. I dont usualy expect this behaviour from somebody who is good like in the top 400.

I just ignore Phone Calls- since my phone used to be in the same room as my Xbox answering phone calls while playing on LIVE is really tricky

Complaining over someone pausing a game for 1 or 2minutes to answer the phone is pathetic,or if they are going to the bathroom.Im suprised it was a 2100 player though,its usually retards massing cuirassiers with french that do it

first of all i agree with topic starter, he was a jerk. But if you try to lag him out u are bieng as much of a jerk as he is. basically, just let it go and forget about it. well, thats what i do.

Don't pause while I am playing vs you or the same thing will happen. My house could burn down around me and Im not going to stop playing.
