Rarely do I write on a message board but I'm pretty unimpressed by this as a rule.
I have just completed a marathon 21 round 2v4 game. It was me and one other, as 2 players on our team dropped out right at the beggining of the game, leaving me and another player against 4 opponents, still we won- was an epic battle (Rail europe, massive map, serious headache for first time played!)
I just finish to find the two players that dropped out at the beggining, leaving us to battle it out (and I have checked, they are still playing plenty of games) get the same bloody points as me and the other guy- that sucks!
Surely if you drop out of a game, your points should go to the other people that continue???!
