had a really weird timing between "are you ready" and "stand-by," like having a HUGE pause between the two commands. A major part of this game is about timing and this guy really threw it off.
How does that delay throw anybody off, particularly after the first time? I hate it when folks quick beep me but from a distance it is not easy to see why the delay you described should make any difference.
If it is a real pain in the ass I might start doing it though .
