DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

I disagree. Real life sometimes interferes with the game – for example, a phone call. And what then? The seconds tick by, and you have to choose – either sacrifice the timer and possibly the whole game, or completely shut yourself off from the outside world for the duration of the match. But now, when you can see the timer, stalling during a turn is easily noticeable after the game.
