[ABUSE] Host was losing a game, and somehow managed to make the game disappear from stats

from Demigod Forums

Ok, this is a weird one. Just played a game, and a player on the opposing side (fr3nkie) got disconnected pretty early. After a while, the host (igramosch45) went berserk, and yelled in the chat how stupid the AI is, and how he just broke the game, so that there would be no stats. Then he left the game.

After the game, I checked the stats, and indeed, the whole game does not appear in the games list. It has completely vanished, like it has never been played. I can't give a link to the game, as there isn't one I can find. I can only say, that it has been played after this game:

and before this game:

And that there were at least players Elmoman, fr3nkie, bloodyrazors and igramosch45 (host). It was a 3v3 Cataract. here is the screenshot of the host telling us what he has done.

Hi igramosch45 is well know by using the "host exploit" (when a host quits the game it doesn't count on stats)

the same thing happened to me, when I played with him.

during game he always cried like: "if simspeed goes under 6 I quit" or "if this game will lagg I quit", ...

funny was that his game title was "EU player over 6 simspeed", but his simspeed was 5 after 10 mins, lol

best thing u can do is to avoid his games

hmm... the host disconnect exploit I know of DOES NOT erase the game altogether.  It gives the host a win and everyone else a loss.  Also, the host will be the only one with favor.  I think this is something else... but obviously an exploit and the host intended.  Glad you grabbed the screenshot.
