Jeeqbit, 'deprived'. No one has been deprived of shit.
Its not their place to lay claim to, at all, in the first place.
If they don't like it they should either get onto this forum to complain instead, or better yet just don't play.

As for leaving people on the floor. That's not OK either, and I would have 'assumed' you knew that. I think you do actually, but you are going to try and gently persuasively propaganda to the contrary.

There is no 'nice' way for that group to say what they did.
There is no reason for them to get any benefit of the doubt that they were even as polite as they were other than to play games with SE's GMs.
