Bug: Blitz games do not end due to a drop
Right now, when a player drops due to missing turns in a blitz game, the players get credited properly... but the game is still active.
This allows the surviving player to acquire a second win against a open slot, unbalancing the global statistics.

I did another test. If the remaining player then misses his turns, he gets dropped and it gets counted as a loss. (So he gets both a win and a loss).

Yes, I am also baffled by this long standing issue.
I still have an ancient blitz on my profile, now titled the Eternal Blizzard, that has been frozen for a year and a half after my original opponent got dropped for missing turns.

I did a test where I resigned from the game after the opponent dropped. It got counted as a loss for me (after I was already given a win for the opponent dropping because he missed 3 turns).
Does anyone know what happens if the remaining player simply misses 3 turns and is dropped themselves? Will it count as a loss there?

I actually thought I had to keep playing otherwise it would drop me and I wouldn't get credit for the game....

Why hasn't anything been done about this yet? It's still an issue... The game should simply end.
