Vortex Wars

First of all, "The Screen Shoot":


Brown player got "kicked" for being idle. Yet, he was still in game. His regions turned white (neutral) yet counter showed number of his regions. After yellow player took old brown region - counter went down to 0. I wonder, if I would get destroyed before that one neutral region - would I be 3rd !?

It normally says "has left" before it says they were kicked because of idleness. I suspect he was faking (surrendering then typing in chat "was kicked for being idle").

But then there would be "surrendered" message, right? AND his regions turned white - yet the counter still shows "1".

Odd...
