Because I like stats :)

So I played this fog game: https://dominating12.com/game/943196
After the game was over, the complete logs were available (as is standard - no more hindrance from the initial fog). Now, they're no longer visible anymore though (for me). I believe this might be linked to the stats being returned, as it was a test game. I would however like that also for these instances, the complete (non-fogged) logs remain available for everyone to see. Hopefully it's an easy adjustment, as I do not think it's high priority at all (and then could imagine it going on a big pile and never seeing the light of day ;P)

Ah. The reason is that there's no difference between pausing a game and ending-without-winners.

So if there are no winners, the site thinks that the game may be resumed in a future date, and therefore doesn't show any logs.

Another game like that: https://dominating12.com/game/945851

14 Oct, 13:56:17 Rating and other statistics were returned by an admin.
14 Oct, 13:51:40 Game finished.


So I know what causes it, after you explained it Matty and it seems totally normal/the way it should be.
Now as a new question; would it be a lot (= too much) of effort to divide this thing to allow for both? That an admin can decide to end a game without winners and that s/he can also decide to just pause it - with the pausing causing for fog to return, yet the ending keeping it all visible.

As said, I realise there's hardly any use/need for this...... it's something I'd like =d
That <5min gap in the game I just linked wasnt enough for me to actually check the game out (nope - not a whine on admins being too active :P); and just keeping it visible till eternity would also please me

No, this is not something I can change. Well, I could, but to do that I'd have to check every instance of all the involved properties to see if they don't silently assume paused/ended wrongly and thus cause some very peculiar bugs...

What can be done is after ending the game changing it to a non-fog game - the log should be visible by then I think.

But that'd mess with stats in another way, so I kinda don't want to do that either.

If changing to non-fog is an option, then I do think this would be a good thing to do. The games I mentioned here are TEST games, so I don't think there's any trouble in whether the stats show as fog or non-fog (might even argue that the stats for test games shouldn't be added? - I try to avoid big fog games, but for test games, idc... I'll just play whatever setting - sort of gives a wrong impression on my playing, but that doesn't bother me tbh).
