Hello. I played today multiplayer duel. After some point in the game I was winning and then my opponent stopped playing (he just didn't move) and the game stood like that for more than half an hour.. We can't really do anything, but surrender?
So how can we defend against these abuses? Maybe time limit for move should be 5-10 minutes?
This is a screen from the game...
Mod Note: As established below, this is a bug, not an abuse case.

There is a move time limit of 60 seconds, actually. If your opponent didn't move for longer than that and the game didn't end, it must have been some kind of a glitch.

the time limit is definitely not 60 seconds. i think it's like 3 minutes in normal duels and 15 seconds in fast duels. in your case silion, it was definitely a bug situation

Thanks. It was probably bug, so "Demonicon" isn't guilty - to be clear :)

Yup, it was a server glitch; it happens rarely but it does happen.
The good news is that you might have been credit for a win, even though it didn't look that way. If the opponent surrenders (I think), occasionally the winning player (and observers) isn't notified of it and it looks as if the opponent never made their move. When this happens, even if you "surrender", the game is already over and only your win will count. The only way to know for sure is to check your stats afterward.
I believe the time limit IS sixty seconds, except when someone disconnects (in which case it is detected and you get a little extra time to reconnect).
BTW - that is one pissed off Ice Golem!!
