Please do not "expect" a game to take 10 to 15 mins to play out. While this may be true on many occasions some scenarios (like Meat Grinder) probably will take a bit longer.

I just played a game against just such a player (which promted this post) and 15 mins in he informs me that he is running late and has to leave in 5 mins I bluntly asked him why he started a game to begin with and his answer was he expected the game to only last 10 to 15 mins But the game, which started out well for him was starting to turn against him so I do not know if he wished to bail out of a probable losing situation. I had to finish the game against a bot which is not why I got online in the first place. I only have limited time to go online and play and will not start any game unless I have at least an hour to play in case I play a match. This player wasted my time today by starting a game he could not or did not wish to finish. So this player earned his way on my ignore list.

Also, different players play at a different pace. Your opponent may ponder his move a bit more carefully and take more time than you to do his move. Please respect this. I have never made a comment on a player's pace although I have had a few fired my way. One player even went so far as to state "this is the longest game I have ever player". Yikes, reminds me of the kids in the back seat of a car crying out "Are we there yet?"

That being said, I do welcome new players and will continue to game against them in spite of the occasional bad apple.

Yes Memoir 44 is a slow game, slower than it used to be since the Beta days. In a 30 minute game I expect to spend 20 minutes staring at a screen waiting.

Not sure what you are saying there. You mean that in a 30 min game you only take 10 mins (if so you are a better man than I Gunga Din) to play out your moves and then have to spend twice as long for your opponent?
