A player's connection drops mid-dungeon and their share of the reward is lost

Wi-Fi fails for twenty seconds and the player comes back to find they earned nothing from the fights they were part of, or the group has already kicked them. Here is how to treat a short drop as an absence rather than a quit, and what to do when they never come back.

Why this works

A lost connection is usually a hiccup, not a decision to leave, so it should be treated as a pause with a clear end. Paying a reduced share into a waiting pot means a dropout is never better than playing, yet an honest player loses almost nothing.

When not to use it

Skip it in fast, short matches where a missing player cannot be waited for, such as a quick race or a duel. There the match should carry on or end, and a dropped player simply gets the normal result for the time they were present.
