Shortest game ever?

I've seen games last years, but what's the shortest game ever? I just played a game that I won and the entirety of the game took 15 seconds. I went first and took out my target in assassin on my first go in only 15 seconds. It was game 12127866. Anyone faster then 15 seconds?

These games took 3 seconds, not 6. The clock begins when the person hits begin turn, not when the game is initialized. By your logic it took me 7 and a half hours to end my game, rather then 15 seconds. I was at work when the game initialized. I'm not sure what's more impressive, the fact they ended the game in only 3 seconds, or that they were able to hit begin turn within 3 seconds of the game being initialized Anyway you can't count the time they took to hit begin turn. It would seem to me 3 seconds is unbeatable, lest they make a map where each person starts the game with a single territory, and someone is able to get to that territory on their very first attack. My 15 seconds isn't even in the ballpark of the CC record, but its still a personal best I think.

The amount of active play was 3 seconds. The game log stretches over 6 seconds however. A matter of taste how you count it.

the game started 2010-11-03 08:21:54
the game ended 2010-11-03 08:22:00

that is 6 seconds for the game to start and finish.

The game does NOT start when it is initialized. It starts when the person with the first go clicks begin turn period. By your logic, if I plan to play a game of risk with someone next week, then the game begins as soon as I decide to do it, and not when I actually sit down to play it. I suppose you would tell me my 15 second game was closer to 8 hrs even though I was at work that whole time. The fact is I went first, clicked turn deployed and eliminated my target in 15 seconds. The fact it took me nearly 8hrs to hit begin turn is irrelevant.

the fact is you could have been looking at the map for 7 hours before deciding the best strategy to take, then clicking Begin Turn. finishing the game 15 seconds after that.

games start when they are initialised. not when you have finished strategising.

ROFLMAO. Yeah sure, I spent 7hrs figuring out how to eliminate 2 territories. What a douche.
