This happened to me after the game said it was connecting, but before it had a chance to begin. The other guy won after playing for 20 minutes against, I assume, an AI.
The reason I'm bringing this up isn't to complain, but to inform some folks that it happens. I saw a thread earlier that pointed a finger at a fellow player and refuse to resurrect that one. I'm thinking that we can give our fellow players the benefit of the doubt unless there's a verifiable cheat going on.
Stats aren't so important that they should get in the way of a fun game with a primarily good community.
