Sometimes there really is a need to pause the game; for example phone rang or you need to go to the little boys room. Give every player a chance to pause once for 30 seconds per game for some amount of coins.

This has been discussed. We will not be putting a pause in the game for the foreseeable future.

Unless I am in some sort of custom matchup with a friend (where we play last worm standing wins) there is no need for a pause button. If you can't commit to 3 minutes of worms on facebook, then just dont play :P
