Delaying and stalling
There has been talk in the forums about delaying and the consequences of this. In non-casual play, delaying or stalling calls for serious judgment calls since every gaming round is timed for the tournament. I guess you then have to ask why tourneys have timed rounds but the reason for that is to put pressure and ensure competitiveness of people. But this rambling should go on another post.In some games, prolonging it may end in victory in the very end. It may be the tactic your build or your group or your army/deck is based on. Nevertheless, it does have some consequences, and not just in the game.
1) Stalling tactics, such as repeating actions, out of game interruptions or just plain taking too long can lead to forfeiture of the round to outright disqualification.
2) A tournament is supposed to have a level of professionalism, and delaying may be seen as unprofessional and might make other people see you as not taking the game too seriously (or even too seriously as the case may be)
3) It’s just plain stupid to prolong the agony if you know you’re losing. It makes other players irritable and won’t bode well for future gaming endeavors.
Remember, people went there to have fun and taking too long removes the fun part from everyone. If you know you are losing, admit it and shake the other guy’s hand. Time is one thing you must never take from others since it can never be earned back.
