Is it against the rules to time out? Like basically I beat this guy without a doubt atleast in my mind. But then he in the chat said ya you win and then just gave up and is letting himself timeout in turn making me wait. Is this against the rules?

From the site rules: http://www.dominating12.com/?cmd=tutorial&act=rules

7. Do not join games that you won't be able to finish

Missed turns ruin games. It is disrespectful to make players wait for your timer to run out before they can take their turn. Disrespect is not tolerated on this site. If you have planned a vacation where you will not have regular internet access then stop joining Long Term games at least two weeks prior to the vacation for Increasing Card games and at least one month prior for Fixed Card games. If you are leaving unexpectedly and won't have internet access then first leave any games that haven't started yet. Then, if you know you will be gone long enough to miss two turns in a row, inform the other players using the game chat that you won't be finishing the game.

Live Games

If you know in advance that you have to leave at a certain time and may not have enough time to finish a live game then don't join that game. If you are in a live game and unexpectedly have to leave then it is required that you tell the other players using the game chat so that they know not to waste their troops attacking you. Also apologize for making them wait for your turn to time out. Obviously if you lose your connection or there was an emergency then you won't be able to inform the other players. But if you regularly quit games without informing the other players you will receive an official warning. After 3 warnings you will be banned.

So in short, yes it is against the rules.

Please remember that depending on the device or browser the player is using there could be a lag. (For example, Crome or Firefox are the best browsers to use, Explorer is horrible for refreshing the page).

If you suspect abuse of the rules is taking place, just send myself or another member of the staff a PM with the details of the issue, information to support your inquiry and a link to the game so it can be reviewed.

I hope this answers your question.

Making players wait is rude and we are against anything rude.

Such players can have their games limited to 3 at a time and their extra time button disabled. They just need to be reported to a moderator who will review it and send it to an admin if punishment is needed.
