My favorite moment today was this:
I joined a two player game, but then another game that seemed more appealing popped up, so I joined that.  A game started, but once I saw the board and my opening hand, the loading screen appeared again, and I saw a different game.  Goko had put me in both games.  I was able to play in one game, but little blips and images showed up every once in a while from the other game. Finally, a message popped up from the game that I couldn't control saying I was getting booted for inactivity. When that game ended, it took me out of the game I was actually playing.
Weird.

I resigned my similar game before allowing Goko to get satisfaction from booting me.

This happened to me quite a while ago. It's the strangest thing.

I've also had a last second switch, and then when the game started the screen went dim as if it were about to load again. I could see all the cards, even chat, but I couldn't click any of the buttons.

Serves you right for abandoning a game before the guy had a chance to hit "Play". As someone who creates tables, I can tell you that this is utterly infuriating.

Except sometimes you sit around for a minute, nothing happens, then you change but that exactly when he hits Play.

Sure, that's valid. Leaving because another game is "more appealing" is irritating and rude.

Of course, although I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they changed game when they saw their opponent has only played 4 games and is probably base set only.

I suppose that's valid. I was going to say that you should check that before joining the game, but I suppose that's just asking for somebody else to come along and take that seat.

that can cut both ways. if there is enough time for a user to join a game and then back out before the host starts then perhaps the host is the rude one.

Sometimes the host presses "Play" and the other player leaves before Goko actually registers that.

I'm not sure. I'd argue that you don't obligate yourself to do anything by joining, therefore you can leave whenever you want. Even in real life, you do that sometimes. I don't think it's bm.

I think it's kind of your own fault for not having the most appealing game.

A little reasoning behind the switch:  I enjoy playing pro games more because I like the fact that both of us are entering the game without knowing the board.  The first game I clicked play on was casual (I was short on time and just wanted to play), but then a pro game showed up while I was waiting for the host.

All that being said, I never really thought about it from the hosts perspective - or that it happened frequently enough that hosts would get infuriated by this.  I'll keep that in mind for the future.
