I think anyone that wants to play should play as long as they want, if someone in a game feels the game is over they are welcome to quit at any time. I have played games where someone on the other team says GG and my teammates just quit, even if there was a chance, I have also played games where one of my teamates lagged out and we still won, or vice versa. You never know what will happen so just play till you are defeated. The remaining people in this instance had the option to team up and assault the last opponent, AI's will just throw their fleets against AI, you only have to kill the HUMAN opponents to WIN..............
I dont defend people who DRAAAGGGG the game on by going AFK, and I dont defend people who hide colonizers on AI planets.
If you seriously feel that the game is over and you want to quit, NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU FROM CLICKING THE QUIT BUTTON.
ANYONE WHO PLAYS MOP UP FOR 2 HOURS IS JUST A SAD SAD PERSON, ITS YOUR OWN FAULT, DONT BLAME SOMEONE ELSE THAT YOU STAYED FOR 2 HOURS, NO ONE TWISTED YOUR ARM. ROFL ROFL ROFL
You can pad your stats anytime you like, just HOST GAMES WITH 1 COMP ON YOUR TEAM AND SHIZAM INSTANT WIN!!!!
