The shot clock is 20 seconds, but sometimes the clock is at least 10 seconds on 0.
That make it 30 till 40 seconds for a shot.

Incorrect jerry. It looks like that from YOUR end, but the opponent still has only precisely 20 second to make his shot on HIS end of the connection.

This is all a simple matter of latency when synchronizing client-server systems over so slow a network as the Internet...

When your client tells you the opponents shot clock is apparently at zero, it may still be ticking on his end.

^^ Thats just due to natural network behaviour, as the shot time doesn't necessarily start and finish at the sasme time for both players.

If someone is openly admitting they are doing this, please do send a complaint as it is clearly provocative behaviour, but what has been said so far is corrent, no game rules are being broken, and distinguishing between awkwardness and simple slow play is impossible.

Yes but even though there can be delays on the shot clock the round timer still goes on so you still lose those extra seconds

and i would now spinner, but the last time i just logged out as i wasnt in the best of moods

That depends entirely on how Nick has implemented the synchronization in this particular game. You may be both right and wrong.
