We all hate this!
You are playing a game and winning.
The opponent sees that hes in a loosing situation and begins to stall.
Instead of finishing him off quick, the game drags on for about 2 hours before u finally put him away.
Many times, you dont even have the patience or time to continue.
Lets say you have 30 minutes to play a game before u leave.
You have 1200+ stats and get into a game with a 850 stat player.
He stalls, you have to go, and u loose a lot of stats!
Personally, i dont know how to cope with this problem, but i think TAO should take some kind of measures to stop stalling.
Any suggestions on how stallers can be stopped?

Stalling isn't against the rules. This has been talked about before.
What were you told about NOT making threads.

Do you just care about losing stats?
If you have to go in 30 mins and can't win in that time, wait untill you have more time to play.
Stallers are annoying, but you can't stop them.

OMG! You haven't seen this talked about, so that makes it ok to start a new thread? You didn't even make a suggestion, you just complained about a problem. A problem you didn't bother to search for. There IS a search function, this is why it should be used.
You are a spammer, you have contributed nothing to this forum but your ignorant, and uninformed opinions. Stop posting, stop making threads, start using your brain. Or we will find a way to get you banned. Grow up, and actually put some thought into your posts before you type them out and hit enter. Unless this is you thinking, in which case I feel very sorry for you and whatever part of Brooklyn that you so poorly represent. Moron.

There's no such thing as stalling. The time limit to make a movie is set up so that people can take a quick piss, or think, or do something really quickly if they have to and not automatically surrender.
If you don't like it, play that over-advertised Adventure Quest.
Edit: Well, some people will stall, but they're usually noobs and you can spot them by behavior or status.
