Title: Stats inflation through connection dropouts? Post by: Orv on April 11, 2010, 20:40 Played a game recently where I got a network timeout during the first property grant round. It wasn't my connection; I could ping every IP I tried, except that of the player hosting. However, this was counted as an abandoned game on my end and a win on theirs.
This seems ripe for abuse, since someone could make it look like they won every game just by starting a game and then blocking packets from the other player(s) at their firewall. Now, I'm not gonna say this particular player was taking advantage...but their stats do show them with a 100% win percentage. Just sayin'...

Currently it seems a game only has to start with two humans... Title: Re: Stats inflation through connection dropouts?
