HAHHAAHAH, You know this is a bug, I saw this definitely in lots, and I mean lots of forums  


Basically, if you are in a 1 v 1 standoff, you will autolose if your lover died. 

What happened?  It was me against a tracker, with everyone else dead.  Pirate got his plunders, so that makes sense, but I don't understand the rest of how this worked out.

My lover was a Werewolf.  I'm a living Pestilence.  Pestilence doesn't die when their lover dies.

The message that I'm shown quoting there is what the game told me as my lover died.

Notice how I'm still alive in the screenshot, despite my lover being dead from the night before.

If your lover was a townie, they probably died and you died with them.
