I want to bring this game to the attention of RHP. Of course, after 1.84 days, the timebank will be gone, and I will look like an idiot. However, for the next 1.84 days, those who look at this game will notice that I still have a timebank, however small it may be. But, my opponent beat me on a move timout, even though I still have a timebank left!!!!

So I say, What the heck? Did I miss a special rule about timebanks? Or is the computer screwed?

Game 1095237

If it is the case that the game timed out before the bank had gone then it is important cos it means a bug exsists. Also the game was far from over and it made the clan match score 6-2 with 4 to play instead of a potential 5-3 with 4 to play.

I know, I wasn't being sarcastic. It's my clan that went down 6-2. And it's not fair if he didn't really lose on time. I guess the πŸ˜› didn't really work there, but I just love to put it πŸ˜›. It makes me laughπŸ˜› πŸ˜›

Russ replied to something like this before.

He said that the timebank had indeed run out, but after the game had ended, it looked like there was still time in the timebank. More of a graphical glitch than anything else.

Were you keeping tabs on the game before it TO'd?

I'll try to find the thread where Russ explained this...

My last opponent will probably ask the same thing I bet.. so luckily this thread came out just again as a reminder.. I went back and checked, and it looks like he has 0.7 days left..
so.. if I had looked at the timebank just prior to clicking claim win, would I have saw .7? or 0? and.. same question for the opponent.. if he looked would he have thought he had some time left? I wasn't quite sure from what Russ said in that thread.

It confirms that it's a bug. By the sounds of it when the timebank gets to less than 1 it can stop counting down visibly but continues to do so until the skull appears.

so.. I did a test since I had 2 more games to timeout.
I checked the timebank before claiming the win, and it was at 0.
Then, when I clicked on Claim win, and checked the game again, both had 0.11 days left.. so.. the bug seems to be that when you claim the win, it adds time somehow

maybe.. but I still have a few questins about this, one being that why it would add more than a day to my time bank, two, I was pretty sure I was keeping up with the game, and three this isn't the first time this happened, either. Even though its long gone now, a few months ago I lost in this same matter, and I had over five days on my timebank! That's long gone, and it won't matter anyway, but I'm still a bit confused about what keeps happening....

oh well, even if I don't get that game back, I'll kick his butt in our other game πŸ™‚...
