Hi I was playing a game on ICC (5 minute pool, disconnect counts as a loss)

I had winning position, and i get disconnected.
Takes a while before my connection is back. (be aware I was able to use the internet and such, so not my fault)
connection is back, i lost game because of disconnection. I complain in help channel all i get is an admin saying 'in 5 min pool disconnect is loss'. And I get disconnected again, and cannot get in at all.

Do you think some admin is cheating with a second player account?

By the way the player rhis happened against was called 'Talons'

You should totally spam about it in the lobby some more. That will make you look less paranoid and crazy.

Well, the player accused doesn't have any other opponents disconnecting in his last 20 games, so maybe he is cheating and just doesn't like OP.

I didn't say that much in the Lobby.
Did you witness me getting mad in the lobby?

Looked a bit spammy to me, but I'm an old crank.

well happened to me again against another opponent, but this time just after two opening moves. So it is not some cheating method, just some error from ICC servers.
ICC has become to buggy with its connections that it has become a useless site.

I have connection to rest of internet still, but not to ICC, so it is not my fault, but ICC's fault.

This crap never happened to me on chess.com

Maybe some issue with ports getting closed? I have amazing internet as far as speed goes, but for whatever reason from time to time some ports get closed and I have to either manually re-open them or restart the router.

well people there ridiculed me, saying i have a crappy isp and stuff, but now i see more and more people there complaining in chat they get disconnected. yet still admins (and members not experiencing it) wanna say it is my fault. Is it me, or is ICC some kind of religion, where they never can be wrong and only the followers/members can be wrong.

I didn't say it's your "fault." I'm saying that there's no conspiracy for this one admin to disconnect you, and none of his other opponents, in losing positions.
