Or he may be even smarter and play no hearts knowing he can't win unless he creates 5 pastebins writing random vilden using words like "magically" and phrases like "out of nowhere".

i mean you're both right, you really shouldn't have to suffer a loss because a banned user isn't playing legitimately in your game, but it happens all the time.

he did not do anything worthy of being a refund in that game tbh, unless you just say 'well him being a banned user in that game put town at such a disadvantage so we should refund it' which is poor reasoning because i've pretty much never seen these games refunded if it wasnt a prominent user reporting

also i don't really think that justrec game should be refunded either.. but its an interesting one to think about
