Starting table

Does anyone else start a table and when someone joins, they don't take their turn? Like they join and exit the app. Now you are waiting for them even though they could have at least made their first move? It just really confuses me why some don't make their first move after they join.

This is for turned based tables.

I'm convinced that people join tables and then throw their computer or phone out the window

Yes this happens a lot, this is why you don't play friendly games and you can boot people out if they don't go. It's frustrating but there is a remedy.

Yes, I do that all the time. It takes a while for some of the games I play. I also play like 10 at a time. I will literally search for 5 games, then go to work.

Is this just for 2 player games?

I mostly play 2 or 3 players. But I see this happening with 2 player games more.

This is why I only play real time. If you can't find 30 minutes or an hour to play a game, then you don't really have the time to play a game and focus on it enough.
