Aborted games or disconnecting?

Sort:
pos_v

Hello,

When I create a seek, my opponent joins. Then after two or three seconds, they abort the game. This happens about 2 - 3 times before every game I try to play.

Do people blindly click accept on games in the hopes they will get into one? Then when they do they assess whether they wish to play (rating>time>(un)rated)?

Or

Is it me losing connection to my opponent, showing up as aborting the game on my chat dialogue? If it is, do they see the same, such as "pos_v has aborted the game"?

Cheers!

Most likely they're trying to click on a different seek, but with people accepting seeks all the time, they move around pretty quickly on the board, so your seek is now where someone else's was a second ago.

That was another possibility I forgot to add into my post (my pizza was burning!).

well, dont you think that theres some possibitity that they had some unexpected buisness to tend to? or maybe they where expecting someone else to be thier opponent? this has happened to me various time so i know what it feels like< but i try to keep an open mind, and try not to take it personal!Innocent

Yes, there is some possibility, but it happens wayyy too often to be chance. I am not having a go at them nor am I annoyed, I was simply enquiring to the cause of this.
