Incidentally, the final contract was 5dx-1 (a common result) after LHO overcalled 4S then 2 passes to me and I went on to 5D (Possibly an even more foolish bid) LOL

So, your psyche worked and you then refused to reap the rewards? Now that's just plain silly.

Edited
I strongly object to your unfounded attack on your opponent's ethics by implying that they left during the hand. An examination of the hand record proves this to be a lie

Given that you appear to be one of the opponents in question, I can understand your strong objection and I will believe you when you say you did not leave in the middle of the hand.

However, an examination of the hand record will not prove one way or another whether the statement is true or not. If an opponent "runs" in the middle of a hand, he remains the opponent of record until the next board starts.

In other words, if you had fled in the middle of the hand, and somebody was subbed for you, and then declarer claimed, you would still be shown as the person at the table accepting the claim.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

I think that Old York should apologize to wackojack and then wackojack should apologize to Old York and then they should both apologize to everybody who read this thread.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Opponents' walking out probably has some positive correlation to "good action." Now, when partner walks out...

It's a silly bid, but you used to see much more of this kind of thing back in the old days. It was more fun, tho it wasn't better bridge, and it did create some hard feelings. I once had a P who psyched ♠ twice on the same hand. When he ran out to his real ♦ suit, opp doubled and of course he made it for a top. :)

♦ AKQJ9842
♣ 742
After 2 passes RHO opens 1♣ and you overcall 3NT
I prefer 3♣ in an attempt to right-side 3N.
