Well, I just (ending about 10:32pm PDT 5/5/09) finished a Brass league game, and I lost. (digression: losing in this game is frustrating by itself since you get further and further behind.) Anyway, it was my first game for this interval of the league - I just got home, saw I had 2 games to play, and started up a game against nokdu. I actually looked at my number of points in the league during the game, to see where I stood: 8 points. The game went somewhat long, and I timed out. As I timed out, I hit the pass button.

When I closed the game screen and went back to the league, I saw 10 points... what? Then I saw I had no more games to play. So I had gotten 2 points and was deducted 2 games - 2 losses. I would suspect it had something to do with the timing of my pass, since I can't think of anything else special that happened. I also think nokdu got 2 wins, but can't be sure.

Just happened again! I got two game losses and my opponent got two game wins (CaveTroll, in the Brass IV league, my last game of the league and apparently I get negative tiebreakers now).

Really annoying bug.

Was it the same scenario? You were timing out and clicked pass?

That seems... plausible. I was at about a minute left, and this time I couldn't actually see my clock changing (I guess that is another bug, seems to happen more often since pass all went onto the server - thanks for that though, major improvement even with bugs). I thought for a while, then passed to end the game, and noticed that I had gone into negative tiebreakers. I was just getting myself down to 0 games to play, so I'm sure I had been given an extra game loss.
