When someone goes offline against me in a mobile coin game, it tries to reconnect both players. I connect immediately and it shows the disconnected player with a :45 clock ticking them down. Once their clock expires, it treats the game like a forfeit and I get coins, just like an intentional forfeit. It is annoying, but just have to wait it out. Or are you saying he went offline 3 times in a single game?
I believe your description is what should happen... but it appears there are or have been exceptions when a player exits without forfeiting and the remaining player is not prompted with a reconnect and they are the one that is timed out even though it was the other player that left. I don't know if they are doing something on their end that causes the glitch or whether they are just hoping it will happen but it does and has happened to me and others before.
Also, I believe the OP was indicating this same player has done this to him in 3 separate games and he recognized the player as someone that was using this glitch or flaw in the game to "pick his pocket" and essentially steal the win from him.
