    I'm in a deadlocked 3-way that one player has offered to terminate. I wondered what stat consequences you get from a terminated game - if any.

    Will it end my win and/or elimination streaks?

    Will the board I played on, my first game there, appear in the "boards played" column, and what will be my score there? 

    Will it increase number of games played by 1?

    someone else (that has paid attention to their stats more) may correct me, but i think that if you terminate, it's as if it didn't exist. 

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    like a postponed baseball game?

    This is correct.  For tournaments the win is divided up between the players but for non-tournament games there is no win or loss recorded for any of the players.

    Thanks guys. 

    Not that it mattered this time as the 3rd player seems disinclined to terminate, but it's good to know.

    Side discussion - in this sort of case, is it fair to gang up on the 3rd player?  What about if you and the other player agree to terminate once you eliminate #3?

    Backup question. The offer of termination caused the 3rd player to launch a weakening attack, and I managed to eliminate him.

    If I terminate the game now, will this elimination remain for my PB elimination streak, or disappear?

    I don't think we know the answer to that.  my guess is it would stay.

    berickf might know. He pays attention to that sort of thing. You could just try it and then let us know what happens.

    Like 37, I also believe that eliminations earned before termination will stick, but, I have never actually been in such a position to determine, or, if I was, I forgot to check what happened to my stats.  Please let us know the result if you go that route.  Thanks!

    Sorry, but the game ended normally with the player offering to terminate winning it. He graciously reoffered to terminate but I felt he deserved his shot at winning it, which he proceeded to do.

    That qualifies as a bad beat, methinks.
