What is a "wrecked" game? If it's one where an opportunity for a beautiful play was thrown away...well, that's SICO. One of the first lessons SICO players need to learn is that their "team mates" might not follow through on subtle plays. If you can't stand the idea of that happening to your perfect plans, try ICC or FICS.

If what makes a game "wrecked" is that it's unbalanced, that's something that we regulars can do something about. The only thing that seems to prevent that is ego - people refusing to make moves that will bring the game back into balance because they're afraid that others will think they just messed up. Try having a little faith. Add a comment explaining your intentions if you feel you must. But please stop whining and name-calling; it's just as damaging to the environment as the game wreckers themselves are.
