    I just got the short stick by MPC timing rules.

    I initially was having severe flash player lag issues, so I took a minute to reboot.  My opponent was a nice guy and fine with me taking a minute or 2 to do this.  

    Then he was having connection issues and timed out on 2 separate occasions.  After each time he came back to the match and attempted to start it, I received a "WGT Error" message upon the reload.  These 2 error messages forced me 2 close the window and reload.

    After the 2nd time this happened, I received a message that said match was forfeited on my part because I had timed out 3 times.  

    In the grand scheme of things the 200 credit loss is minor on my part, but it is still BS that it ever happened.  I realize the need for the 3 disconnect rule to prevent against stallers, but I didn't disconnect of my own volition, I was given a WGT error upon reload.  

    You might want to find a correction for this in the future for people given this error when their opponents have disconnected.
