Goko Unresponsive? Win Adventure Mode in the Background

Old news: Goko is bug-prone, glacially slow, and often becomes unresponsive -- both when starting and playing games.

The only upside I've discovered to this is that you can passively win Adventure mode games when things are tremendously laggy simply by playing until the server becomes unresponsive. As we know all-too-well from normal play, non-responsive players eventually time out and are forced to concede. Since all the bots depend on server and the server is swamped, the game is waiting on a bot.  Toss the window in the background and you'll be awarded a win 15-30 minutes later; you can even be notified of your triumphant victory if you turn the cheesy SFX on.

A moment ago I actually asked myself, "Wait, is this cheating? I'm exploiting a technical flaw to--" And then I realized I'm just failing to ragequit. Which I'm pretty sure is within the bounds of expected user behavior :P.

So here's to those last 76 tokens.

or you could skip them altogether.. waiting for the bots to timeout seems to result in the same thing over a longer period of time....

Heh. Kind of amazing that works.

Not sure it would save me much time, though (10k coins means I can just turn on Auto-Zap). And time wasted is what I desire to avoid.
