if they are a paying member they have the option to "add time".

It's in that menu with the little arrow next to it under the cheat button?  Oh sorry, just noticed you aren't premium.  Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it; the cheat button can only be activated once a game.

That's not right at all.

 

What you are probably seeing is the result of lag.  Your time is kept by your computer, so it is reasonably accurate.  However, the clock you're seeing for your opponent isn't accurate and gets updated with the correct time from the server, which can lead to some strange behavior.

yeah, that's what the paying members would have us think..Cool.

Too late Omnipaul, I've spilled the beans.  I tell you I just couldn't sleep at night thinking of all those thousands of deserving, ad viewing, loyal but not premium members being cheated by "time bandits".  They deserve a level playing field.
