Hi, there seems to be some strange things happening with the time decline on my 1 minute games ! Anybody else experiencing fluctuating time rather than steady decline?
Kind Regards

What likely happened is that you had a brief disconnect and the server may not have received your move. 

 

The server is the keeper of the accurate time. With the lag compensation algorithms the times on the clients may not be accurate. That is why you may occasionally see clocks adjusted in games, even without increments.
