I don't understand at all.We played on that table for many turns, then:

1)
One player died.
6 Remaining players

2)
The player who was 1st ended each turn manually, he wasn't away: forced resign.
5 remaining players.

3)
The player at 5th place was left with one area and died quickly. Two other players flagged as 4th and 3rd before ... 5th's was killed, so auto resign on flag worked.
2 players left.

4)
Me as 2nd, the other player as 1st... there were many neutral 8 dice areas, we started to attack them to get more power ... after 3-4 turns, he was subject to a forced resign too.


I have no idea about what happened, 2 forced resign when these players were active ...
