How was he supposed to know that his partner was breaking the rules? You think he wanted to side with a cheating player? I started a Quads game a while back, and logged off for the night, i log on the next day, the game has started already. Turn 2, all 3 of my partners are kicked out. Sure it helps ...
once you have 22 terries, it is pretty easy to grab and hold two more terries to get to 24. Or maybe 5 more to get to 27. Sorry...I'm just making the point that once you have a huge number of terries the odds really tip in your favor....
I was in a doubles game recently (6960741) where one of my opponents (yellow) got kicked out for violating CC rules.
But rather than hurt Blue, it helped him. Which seems perverse and bizarre to me....your teammate breaks the rules, and yet now you stand a GREATER chance of winning the game?
