That's just wrong.

A website listing the games and the facts would allow new and old gamers to recognize you as reliable.

But still such a list could have some problems. Listing only the facts will help, but who provides the "facts"?

For starters I suggest using only MP games with threads within 'Dom 2 Scenarios, Maps & Mods'. Those who remain playing the game could agree when each player vanished... then add one day just to be friendly.
I suggest the following facts:
At xx turns into the game player yyyyyyy left with ZZ provinces and WW players remaining.
Thus if someone leaves on Turn_122 with 10 provinces remaining on the Faerun map when only 2 players are left it won't look as bad as someone leaving on Turn_34 with 7 provinces on the Orania map when 8 players are remaining.

By the way Im still not volunteering. Maybe when Dom3 is up and running I will be motivated to do it. Or provide access as I have in the past so that someone else can provide such things off of my site. Did you notice the "theme song" for such a project in my sig?

Well hopefully it eventually appears... the sooner it appears the more of a history good players can rack-up for themselves and it will help encourage those more yellow to stick it out.
Yes I like the signature and completely agree.
