Report: Player 83681240 Abusing Timer and Ruining Ranked Match

I’m in a ranked match right now against player 83681240, and this guy hasn’t made a single move for over 15 minutes — just because he’s clearly losing. This is absolutely ridiculous. He’s wasting people’s time on purpose.

And when his timer finally ran out, the game didn’t even end. Like, what the hell is this? I’m clearly at an advantage, and somehow I’m being forced to lose because of this broken system? Seriously, is this how your game rules are set?

You need to fix this. Add a strict time limit per turn or round, and punish players who deliberately stall like this. It’s unfair and completely ruins the ranked experience.

Do something about this — this shouldn’t happen in a competitive game.
