quiter vs lost points

[SgtNokia]

Although i'm new here i've a question about quites: game 5282924. Why is a quiter losing LESS points then others who play till the end? Is quiting seen as a tactical option?

[Timminz]

because the points gained/lost are dependent on the ratio of the losers' score to the winner's score, and not in any way based on what happens within a game.

what timminz said,

but back in the day, on a terminator game, if you deadbeated before games end, you could get away without losing points

that loophole, like many others was closed a long time ago though

the ratio of points won = high score v low score... high wins less, loses more low wins more, loses less, with 20 being average, and 100 being cap.
