    That happens to me a lot too. I usually title the invite "Make Some Moves Now". If they still only make a move and leave, I just delete the game and put out a new invite.

    I just had the opposite happen to me.

    The game name is "online now play quickly." I took the invite a little after 11 pm with the intention of going to bed around midnight and getting the game well underway by then. Black's first move happened over five hours later.

    It's a relict, a remnant of an old custom - push elevator button on the ground floor and go (sometimes run).
    Also there is a widespread belidf that, if you push elevatro buton twice (or keep pushing), the elevatro will move faster. That's why some try to double their moves.
