...and expecting fairness from your opponent is foolish!

Why is it foolish?

For example, I won't insist on winning here, but let's change the rules so that there is clarity on what we consider to be the fairest solution to this kind of situation.

For me, this is the same as I suggested to include in the rules: limitations on "starting new games for those who still have unfinished games, and the opponent is ready to play the unfinished game," but it turned out that the Community generally has different views on this situation.
For some, such behavior is disrespectful to the opponent in the unfinished game; for others, it is perfectly normal.

The same applies here - for some, it's a "normal bug," and for others, it's "nonsense that contradicts the spirit of the game."

Nevertheless, I still believe that everyone who wrote in the style of "this is nonsense" completely failed because they don't offer specific changes to the rules but only spout emotions.
The only one who managed to write something constructive was Britvotchka, and I think he did a very good job.

The situation is exactly the same as when 1 serpent flies away from a legion of skeletons.

And it's still unclear why, when a serpent flies away from a legion of skeletons, the skeletons should be declared losers.
A draw may not look ideal, but it seems like a much fairer outcome.
Forcing the skeletons to lose looks like an obvious absurdity, as if "we couldn't come up with anything better."
Well, we waited, we waited, and we got lucky; Britvotchka came up with a draw.

Now I'm surprised that the opposing side of the discussion (twaryna, Wicc, Dirty_Player) ignored the idea of a draw in their comments.
