at level 20 realfurbolg made a pause for strategic talk/ player change to control king..
I'm not sure if it's allowed to pause a game to make decisions that can change a game.

I think the game chat from 41.28 - 51.01 speak for itself.

Not allowed

to clarify, if som1 isn't building for a lvl, and ur wondering wtf is it, don't u pause? check some things?

[Iznogood]

wouldn't call it a critical point or a point that changes the game.. did you watch the replay? or just post for fun?

But again iightfyre has to simplify the rules for the communtity

Not allowed

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Pausing during someone's king control is a bit of an abuse of the pause function. Pausing is meant for players who have an urgent afk. So we all know for the future.

Please do not bring up any games prior to this post. This ruling will not be retro-active. Going forward, pausing is only allowed for necessary AFK's

Moving to archive, iightfyre the zombie summed up the rule for you all.
