do you consider if anybody else is watching your game and you pause it... and what if he will write for you by skype (or something else) that you are 12 points in front... so wont you loose fun watching those 6 more minutes knowing what the result is after them. (if you stopped the game at second period 6min.)
Let me break down the core of that argument: you shouldn't add something fun, because someone could possibly ruin that fun.
