not so!
there were
2 separate issues in your absence
first, game 41 ended very quickly -- due to absence of players !
( only one active player, i arrived too late )
secondly, about 1 day after the game ended,
the forum became unavailable for approximately 2 days,
preventing the launch of game 42
if this 2nd problem hadn't happened,
you might've come back to find that 5 more games had started and ended without players
