Just to present the other side non-quitters can be annoying also. I was in a game once were I refused to quit and the winning player cussed at me and terminated the game. I had one active minefield in a nebula system so I refused to quit as "I had units still in the field" and my empire was still alive.
That's just being pissy. With one minefield there is 0% chance of doing anything meaningful..and worse, minefields are completely computer controlled anyway so all your holding on did was slow down the game for the other player(s).
Sorry about that I tend toward brevety in speech and in writing. Everything I said was the truth, but the situtation was I was the Last player in the game beside the winner. The Winning player knew I was teasing and only cussed to tease me right back. And I only continued to fight becaue it was funny in an absurd way. The winning player and are a good friends.
But quitting players are a fact of life we will all have to contend with and if you want to avoid that just request Grandpa Kim's seal of approval.
