Timing out & internet connections

As a newbie I am trying to understand what is expected of a participant.
eg I read in the forums that timing out is bad. It happened to me when I lost internet connection for a few minutes. When the connection reestablished I had lost, by timeout apparently. I don’t mind the lost game, but I don’t want a bad reputation. What is expected of me in such cases?

Nothing, don’t worry about it :slight_smile: it happens to everyone sometimes. Unless half of your games are lost by timeout, nobody will even notice.

Ya don’t worry about it. Just a bit of bad luck and as long it’s not happening all the time no one will even notice.

Thanks guys, That’s reassuring. I was considering withdrawing if I’m likely to cause upset.
