I think this amount of time is too long, If a player has to go away from the game for a while 15 minutes is a long time for someone to take advantage of this.

Perhaps 5 mins, would be better.

<<THANX>>

its fine how it is. if someone wants to leave for that amount of time during a game its their own fault., besides i dont think many people are sad enough to sit and play against random shots.

fine how it is, cause when i get byes or waitin for tournies i just go do other stuff while waiting and i dont usualy check it until i hear the sound you hear when u get invite, so 5 mins might be too short if u had to wait something 10 mins b4 the round finshed...

i agree with no_chance and davy. it takes me more than 5 minutes to smoke a cig. leave it where it is i think

I also think 15 minutes is fine.

I've never had to leave a game for more than 1 minute at a time anyway, but if i did need to go absent for longer i would just leave the game and drop the points.

Also when you are in a chat room and you decide to make a sandwich etc, you might want to stay in the conversation, and getting logged out after you have buttered one slice of bread would be a nuisance.

Yep, I think 15 minutes is fine as it is. 5 minutes would have me running around the house like a madman.

I had to leave and forgot to turn it off and it loged me out after 5 shots ..... not 15 mins

Yes, i think it does this in a game for 2 reasons:

1. It stops time wasters from spoiling your game, also some users like to purposely knock opponents from tournaments by the way of double DQ.

2. It protects your rank if you have to leave the game for some unexpected reason.

Nice!!
