Disconnecting when about to lose Posted by loat Jul 19 2005 2:27PM Have just been playing against a new player [edited] who disconnected with just one second left on the clock, and in material down by a queen, rook and pawn to a knight. Seems rather coincidental.<br><br>I fully support allowing reconnects (I occasionally lose my connection, too). But is there anything that can be done to prevent people abusing the system? <img src="http://www.gamecolony.com/forumhtm/images/face7.gif" width=15 height=15 border=0 align="absmiddle"> Perhaps another opinion <img src="http://www.gamecolony.com/forumhtm/images/face7.gif" width=15 height=15 border=0 align="absmiddle"> Posted by RRD (VIP) Jul 21 2005 12:03AM Perhaps this player had a serious event occur at their home and they needed to leave immediatly. I sincerly doubt that any member of the GC community would deliberatly disconnect when they are losing. Besides maybe he was setting you up in the game, losing material to you thus leading you into a false sense of security, then he would counter attack at the right moment! Or maybe he wanted you to win as an act of friendship <img src="http://www.gamecolony.com/forumhtm/images/face4.gif" width=15 height=15 border=0 align="absmiddle"> Please give players the benifit of the doubt. After all, is not friendship the preffered choice? <img src="http://www.gamecolony.com/forumhtm/images/face4.gif" width=15 height=15 border=0 align="absmiddle"> rofl Posted by b1_returns Aug 13 2005 3:12PM lol there sad players |
