Farming points in arena games

Some people are doing a really boring thing in arenas.
They play and win one game, and pause for the rest of the arena, staying in 1st place and don't giving the other players an opportunity to play and take that place. I think that players shouldn't be able to pause the arena games, once they agreed to get in, they must play to the end. Or at list in the final hour.

I think a lot of people (including me) just use the arenas to get some games. So we might pop in to play a game, and then pause when we've finished. This will naturally become no longer a problem as Lishogi gains popularity.

Yeah, I agree with caxmati. With a low player count there are probably many valid reasons. I suspect in a lot of situations, they might play their match, then wait around to get an opponent...if one doesn't show up then perhaps they just pause and go about their day or perhaps play a game on another site. That's typically what happens to me (though I usually *lose* my first match, lol).

Personally, I wouldn't attribute malice to anyone on lishogi right now...I think we all love the game and want to see the site gain in popularity.
