Disconnecting - WHY ??????

They say, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Apparently not so with quite a few players here, when the going gets tough, they either abandon alltogether and run into mama's arms or they disconnect "connection interrupted", presumably to "Phone a friend" or "Ask the audience".  There is no shame in admitting defeat and pressing the RESIGN button. No one will come knocking at your door 10 minutes later and take you to a Gulag.

Don't worry THE DC MONSTER will get them. He roams the interwebs, searching for tiresome disconnecters and he gobbles on their souls. Mainly for breakfast. He likes Chinese takeaways for lunch or dinner....

You will learn to appreciate the spiteful disconnects when your opponents start letting long-time-control games run their clock all the way down from zero. At least with the disconnects you are only waiting a minute or two.

The thing to watch out for with the disconnects is people who intentionally disconnect, then time themselves to reconnect before they auto-lose, in the hopes that you went AFK and then they can beat you on time
