how did blue's 1.7 vanish ??

perhaps the post was edited --

another idea

the dealer was not yet counted as active player
when Mike resigned, all players but one resigned, enough to close the game

gremlin closed the game and after only red blue's submission

[Pat]

as far as i can tell,
the dealer is always counted among the players

g.r.emlin is not equipped to make the distinction
between active and inactive dealer

No, nothing unusual from my end.

That made the mose sense to me.
Not sure why it lists me as "resigned", but rules say a resigned player can't make submissions.
Odd all around.

Added: Have any other games ended with resignation(s) ?

Have any other games ended with resignation(s) ?

yes, several times
( not very often )

but
always after the total score became positive
