I had just started a rated match, and about 3 minutes into it, my opponent said he made a big mistake and asked to save. I said no. Immediately afterward, the "player not responding" window came up. I waited out the timer, I won, but I got no points from the game and it did not show up on holbert. When someone does this, what are you supposed to do? Is it necessary to click on "drop player" to get the points, or are you supposed to get the points if you just let the timer run out without voting on "save" "drop player" or "wait"? Is there ANYTHING a player can do to avoid being drop tricked? This game was only an incomplete, I did not LOSE points, but I should have had the win.
I don't care if you delete your ulfsark, forget to build a villie for 60 seconds, delete your tc, forget to build a temple, whatever. The difference between winning and losing is often based on who makes more mistakes. If you make a big mistake, you probably deserve to lose. That is the essence of competition.
