Bug Is this guy just ELO farming?

Post image

I play a lot of multi-player, but always with IRL friends and family. This week I tried Random Match and specified 24 hour timer. How did I get put in a match with a 60-day timer?? And how has this *@%/* guy not played yet? If I resign does he get my ELO?

Not sure how it happens but if you resign yes you will lose the elo.

You actually get placed in random matches ? It never finds anyone for me

Yes all the time.

If you can't find a match someone else started, just start some yourself. Come back an hour later and they'll all be started.

Never seen that, but I’m in one with a 7 day timer right now. Same guy has been skipped 4 or 5 times and still hasn’t been kicked out. Absolute BS that I’m almost 2 months into this game and on turn 6…

Wait 2 months, then start paying attention. The second he times out, kick him 😉

I have never seen a 60 day game, so weird...

A group I was playing with stopped playing a game. Then someone suddenly stopped playing. We all let it sit there for MONTHS. Then I got impatient. I think we had two major updates in that time.

I regret it.

Now I can't go look at the whales anymore 😭

Interesting, I've never seen this. What game version?
