Altho i'm not LIHL, if you read the guide for LIHL, it's detailed like this:
http://wiki.entgaming.net/index.php?tit ... :LIHLGuideIf you are !signed to a game, you must join it within 5 minutes of hosting.
So supposely you are given 5 minutes to join, where they must wait for you; After that, it's at players discretion to wait for you (which given Crey's last response on the other topic, game was hosted at :42, and they only swapped at :50, meaning 8 minutes total for waiting time - I mean, sure they could (keyword COULD) wait for you, but at that point, it's not against the rules to swap someone in: How long would they have to wait for you... ?)
Don't take me wrong, but you seem to be directing some hate towards Crey for no reason (At least on this case)
TL;DR - Just cause they dind't wait endlessly for you, don't do the same for a vendeta/witch hunt behaviour - Be the bigger man and break the cycle

But rulewise, they must wait 5 minutes, after that it's their choice (according to the LIHL guide)
