Epicmafia Lag Causing Suicides

I apologize if there's already a forum post on this.

I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Usually after I join a game, I switch tabs and wait for the ping that tells me the game is about to start. If I miss the ping, hopefully I don't have any night actions and the other players will alert me when the day starts if the gong goes pass me.

Once in while, I realize the game hasn't started yet, but no one has joined the game nor left. I realize what's happening, so I refresh the page, but it's too late, I already committed suicide unintentionally.

tl;dr Sometimes the match will appear to look as it did when you joined it and won't change it's appearance nor make alert sounds even when the game has started, resulting in unintentional suicides.

Is it just me? Why does this happen? If it isn't me, will EM work on fixing this?

This is my first forum post. Sorry if I broke any unspoken or written rules.

This happened to me as much as my suicides(14). My internet sometimes turns of automaticly, or sometimes there are electricity problems. But I think I know what to do(it may couse lag). Program the EM to send a messege to this IP and see if he gets a responce, if not then that means there is no internet. But this could couse new cheats to appear(eg you are loosing maf so you turn off your computer or interenet) so leave it like this.

This has happened to me quite a few times, and it can be annoying. The best you can do really is to come back after around 2 minutes or so of you tabbing out and if things look sort of the same as when you left, try refreshing the page, because sometimes the game can get stuck on your end resulting in you seeing the same thing for quite literally as long as you keep the page open.

It sucks, but that's the only way I know of to deal with it :(
