Not sure if banockles can read this (he has me on foe for 'cheating' I believe) however in this case I do have sympathy. It IS an old trick and one I encountered a couple of times during speed games. In this situation I usually suggest to the other player concerned to hold fire UNTIL that player as actually deadbeated. I one smoked a player out this way and was he FURIOUS that we hadn't simply played on. Claimed he wasn't cheating, of course.
Is it cheating though? I would say just going off-line without leaving a message and then coming back on after two rounds is acceptable (if cheap) play. Leaving a message that you are leaving the game, going off-line and then coming back on (this happened in the game I was thinking about as well) is probably not against the rules as they are now, but CC might think about changing those rules if that is the case.
To the cheater involved: it is all very well saying that you went to the shower and noticed that the game was still going on (noticed you were now in a winning position more like), but you still shouldn't have played. I think you know that really. You won the game and you'll keep the points, but it'll be the cheapest victory you'll get on CC and I doubt it gave you much pleasure.
