That's me.

With the rng always stacked against me in favor of my opponents, triggering a concede remains my only shot at winning, or lose my progress.

So whenever I feel like rage quit but want to avoid the time penalty nore, the best revenge is wasting my opponent's time as well.

    The last time someone did that to me I just said "I have all the time in the world" and did it back.

    The NPCs never seem to mind when I take a long time to make my moves. ;)

    But on the rare occasions that I do play matches against other players, I try to make my own moves as quickly as I reasonably can, regardless of how long my opponent is taking.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!

    Just encountered another one. Opponent got all the right cards, even some I never even saw them acquire. Extremely sus. Ended up losing 6-59.

    My only option was letting the time run out as petty revenge.

    I've seen that happen,too but I don't know if it's some kind of cheat or a bug in the game. It may not be the opponent's fault so I don't want to seek revenge on them if it's not deserved.

    Opponent pushing for patron victory draws tithe card in the final round while I was way ahead of them. What. Are. The. Odds. I call that rigged.

    Happened to me, happened from me against other players. The more of hundreds or thousands of games, the more often this happens.

    Yesterday my opponent got 11 prestige on the very first hand. How is that even possible?

    Possible with Mora if stars align. Go second with 4 coin and Unsealed Glyphic (5g1p), buy Unfathomable Secrets (3g6p), use Eagle to draw extra coin (4g4p), buy second Unfathomable Secrets (5g9p) and Blackmail (2g11p). 13 power is doable if there's Imprisonment on the table instead of Blackmail.
    Also possible with bunch of Hlaalu contracts on the table and Crow patron.

    But there weren't all of these cards. It was the very first hand of the game and they went first so the most they could have had was 5 coins to spend. And they did not use the Crow patron.

    Things happen in this game that can't... Yet they do. Something isn't right.

    I've never seen anything out of place happening in my almost 2 years of play. I'm not playing much, maybe 3-5 games a day for “First win” rewards, and I don't touch the leaderboards. But I believe if there were any server shenanigans, some streamers would have been hit already, and clips with evidence would show up in circulation.

    These are all Casual games that I'm playing. I only play a game or two most days, but not every day. I used to play a lot of Ranked games and don't remember this stuff happening back then. But it's too consistent now and impossible plays being made.

    Perhaps I am biased because I play on PS-EU, but I never had any issues, problems or situations where I wasn't able to understand what has happened.

    I had two disconnects, so I lost the game and it looks like this happened also a few times to my opponents.

    But with literally thousands of games that can totally happen. I am speaking about a single digit number, don't know, perhaps 6 or 8 of these incidents.

    Still, I don't know if PC-Players have more... "possibilities" to enhance their game with certain "little helpers"...
