Player Geminisz glitching the timebank on ACR Player Geminisz glitching the timebank on ACR

I noticed this player intentionally stalling near a money ladder and exhausted his whole 90 sec time bank in the process. Then, a couple minutes later he got "disconnected" and triggered a second time bank of 90 seconds and exhausted all of that. He came back every single hand and made sure to stall the max amount till he timed out. Antes ate him up and was finally knocked out. Is this find of action permissible or something worth reporting? Doing it anyway clearly.

On wpn you can't even be sure he was doing it. He or she could of been getting lagged out. He has every right to do so because it isn't breaking any rules.

Pointless if you're h4h, but not against the rules.

If I took the time to record it would disagree that you can't be sure. It was the most obvious delay for 15 mins straight, every hand, less than 5bbs stack trying to ladder up (not cash, where there is h2h). I wouldn't mind of course if I didn't see him activate a SECOND full timebank. That's my main issue.

Stalling is an unfortunate reality of online tournaments - there are simply circumstances where stalling is undeniably a profitable choice. You'd have to figure out a way to fundamentally change the structure of tournaments to fix this.

But I do think taking advantage of the disconnect timer is crossing the line. Still, probably nothing that can be done about it. The race to the bottom of angle-shooting every cent of equity continues to get worse and worse. Still, doesn't hurt to try contacting support to see what they say.

Edit: Necro'd 3 day old thread. Whoops, oh well.
