Being about 1 game away from first place, I was matched against an opponent who I knew would actually not give me enough points if I were to win. I only needed around 30 points too. So this was an unfortunate matchup.

No way in the real world would I risk 150 points for a potential gain of 15 points. That's an entire order of magnitude difference and is absurd.

Rest assured, the opponent went first, purchase a Crow card and I'll spare you the rest of the details about the game. I basically came nowhere close to being able to do anything and was thrashed. I have beat this particular player several times today, but with how chance works, this loss is bound to happen.

And I will point out a helpful tip for some of you. I've actually wrote this before in another post. Scumming with Crow does MUCH better against me than Sorcerer-King or Mora. It's a very linear strategy, easy to play, and can easily carry you with a good enough turn one. Anyhow...

So I played a few more games. Again, against players that are only giving me around 25 points. And that's when something interesting happens.

I get matched up against another player who I regularly get only a few points from, but this time is different. This time, I don't even see the game start.

They message me asking what happend...

I never got to play the game and lost 150 more points for my trouble. At 25 points a game and 10 minutes per game, that's about an hour of progress lost.

They sent their condolences, and I thanked them, but it's not their fault.

It's not my fault.

And I know of one extremly good player who decided to stop playing TOT for a few reasons, but one big one was, you guessed it, the bug of getting kicked out of games.

So that does it.
