Hmmmm. Rather than a hall of fame/shame, why not have a "backup" host who receives copies of the game files throughout the game? You'd have to trust him with copies of the game files, but if he had to take over hosting you'd have to trust him anyway.

Sounds like you've been spectacularly unlucky Lingchih. Such things are generally very rare, as Meglobob says.

I guess it has been a fault of only playing server games, and never PBEM. The PBEM hosts (llamaserver, pashadawg) seem very reliable. I would note, though, that Velusion's server has also always been reliable, although he has dropped out of the games for a bit. He still hosts Fallacy though, for which I am grateful.

I have to say, that if I was hosting games, I might find it tiresome at some point. But I would definitely try to get those games sent over to someone else who could host, rather than just going AWOL.
