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'...

finish with at least two human players. Currently it seems a game only has to
start with two humans...
