Until HARDWOOD SPADES revises their system to include ABANDONED GAMES in a player's stats, I will maintain this page to MEMORIALIZE the sleazy quitters who don't deserve to have anyone waste their time by getting into a game with them. For those of you who feel that it isn't fair to include these games in the stats due to possible disconnects that would contribute to the numbers, please remember that other sites include them. Players recognize that everyone is going to have some ABANDONED GAMES in their stats, so they don't really mean much, until they reach DISPROPORTIONATE levels. It is then that other players have a right to know that they are getting into a game with someone whose history shows they leave A LOT MORE GAMES than the average player. Besides, most players make it back and finish their games when they are disconnected (if they choose to return). But when someone leaves a game, and you go out in the lobby and he or she is sitting around waiting to snag a new game that will give him better odds of winning than the one he just abandoned, I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, AND PUBLICIZE IT HERE FOR ALL TO SEE.
This page will be maintained for the benefit of the honest players who go into a game with no intention of quitting regardless of the score. What motivated me to start this page was just ONE more game when not one player, but BOTH PLAYERS on the other team, both much higher ranked than I, quit on me and my partner when we were winning 330 to 30. We went on to win that game, however, we achieved ZERO INCREASE in rank.
If you are involved in a game like I mentioned above, feel free to EMAIL me with the details, and I will include it here. Make sure you include the names of all the players and any scoring details. Also let me know if any player who abandoned your game is found in the lobby afterward hanging around looking for another sucker to cheat.
