    why when playing a game and you get WGT experienced error please close window and reopen doing this 3 times it then says YOU quit 3 times game has ended and you can not continue game? plus does that count against you in any way? I have had this happen several times when I have been having a good game.

    The game can't know the reason for people leaving, there has to be a limit to allow a game to finish. In multi-player there are a lot of things to go wrong like 4 PC's. 4 internet connections and various servers. Most problems are down to just one of those things having a blip.

    From long time user reports here, I take it as a fact that "the game" including all WGT installations is very sensitive against connection issues. Icon explained lately that Flash  may have some issues in this direction... Thus there are a lot of failure sources between the players' PCs and WGT's servers, if not in the game itself. The growing number of reports like above supports the impression that said sensitivity may have become a growing importance for game interruptions.

    AFAIK, the game's completion count demands by each player the completion of multiplayer games until the final step to the main menu of the game screen. Only A/S games are exempt from this rule. Then he will get a "+" in the completion list which presumably has 100 entries. Any failure to do so will result in a "-", dropping the completion score. A growing number of "unknown errors" would push these scores down, resulting in more yellow and red buttons.

    As a cure, there has been proposed a series of Blitz games with a friend which are a quick way to gain new "+" counts, eventually pushing enough minusses out.

    An added benefit to the "three strikes" rule is that it cuts off one avenue for crooked players to fleece credits from legitimate players. If there were no limit it would be very easy for the crooked one to disconnect every shot. Eventually the proper player will get frustrated and leave, causing the crooked player to win by default or forfeit.

    The current system doesn't allow such poor behavior to take place.
