Can this player pleased be banned. He quits just before game's end so player's don't get there points. When i questioned it he said it was because the game was unfair and I was getting better roles. Please consider this as people like this ruin this very good site!!

I had the exact same experience with Mendy.

Apart from everything jest phulin has said it is really weird that two guys attack one person with these accusations but said person has never even left a game early.

Put down the pitchforks

qwert he's left a game early with me in it. The information stating they never leave is 100% wrong. If it's this website telling you this, then the website is wrong. I have seen players purposefully abort with no leave penalty. Winplayer does it often. He will tell you so and I've seen it. These aren't second hand observations. We've played with these people and this is what we experienced. Mendy, Marcel44, --marcelino--, and Winplayer are all in this category. And the number of red thumbs they have relative to up thumbs is indicative of this.

Here's how it goes if you play one of these guys:

Phase 1 (They recognize they are losing): OMG, I'm so unlucky. These rolls are so bad.
Phase 2 (They turn their anger toward you): You are so lucky. You are the luckiest person I know.
Phase 3 (Sense of injustice calcifying): This game isn't fair or natural! We should abort
Phase 4 (Heroic retreat): Leaves on last turn.


Who knows why. They get joy out of being a troll. Maybe they were abused by others as a kid and this is their petty revenge on the world. But as long as they get their sense of validation from this activity they will continue. Alerting other players to this experience decreases their incentive to continue and benefits the whole.

No pitchforks. I'm not even suggesting they get banned. But letting people know is a reasonable response to the problem.

When they quit it doesn't show on there stats? Im not sure why but i get frustrated with bad losers. Accept when your beat and come back better and ready to inflict revenge. Its supposed to be a bit of fun and i hate when people spoil it for others!!!

If they quit, it should show on their stats. If not, they have found a way to circumvent the site's safeguards. If so, they can be reported for exploiting a bug.

If it is happening as often as you say, you should have plenty of games to choose from in your game history showing at least one move by them, and then something happening so their leave counter doesn't increase. Pass those on to site administration. That will help close the hole they've found.
