My Opponent Lost Because lichess Went Down

The main DB server went down, I had to take action, there's been 10 minutes downtime. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I understand things happen. Is it possible to simply vacate any games that were lost/won because of it?

I just lost a game too because of server but I actually don't care.
If there would be an easy solution I think it would have been done.
On Natural Selection 2 game server there are crashs too. You have 40 players fighting hard for over 45 minutes and suddenly the server crashes..
(Most times after updates.. the server stomach didn't like the new food)

These things happen #1, and ultimately they don't matter. I lost a classical game against an 1100-ish player last week because of a similar instance of downtime. After 3 or 4 games my rating is back where it should be. It really doesn't matter if you lose a single game even against a 900 rated player because Glicko-2 will balance it back out after a few games. Just keep playing, ratings aren't some static form of "points" that are won or lost, it's far more intricate and adjusts in relation to your pool.
