Forgive Karma penalties for timing out when affected by a bug - especially in Beta games

[Shad0wlands]

Please see my suggestion here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=48769

The basic description is:

There is a current bug in Agricola (see boardgamearena.com/bug?id=48755) that can trap you in a state where you cannot progress, meaning you will time out. If you are forced to quit in this situation, your Karma is unfairly affected.

I suggest either Karma penalties are reduced or removed for beta games, and/or that there is a mechanism to report/link a bug report to the game (ie. you can "blame" a bug for your timeout) that then forgives the Karma penalty (maybe pending a check by someone).

totally agree. I tried several times to get back into Cloud City only to get an error message and finally had to quit the game as there was no other option. This resulted in both a time penalty and an abandon penalty which seem totally unfair when faced with a bug that prevents you from playing the game.
