always remember game is lost when the com is dead, not before

actually you have few extra seconds, i had many draws when my acu die 1rst and enemy acu dies second
so now right before my acu dies, i select all my units and right click on enemy acu, or move to him.

to bad even if enemy dies it does not count as draw sometimes...
(some times it is because they click score immidietly, some times they even know that they did not die because they click score fast - and thats bit frustrating)

some times even if i know that i am dead for 100% sure i accept that, but i may move some my unist (especially bombers and gunships) out of explosion ( my explosion usually kills his AA, some times it is even a pars of plan) and just when my acu blows up i send my units on enemy acu

also some players feel satisfaction of destroing your base, sometimes i allow them to do that and then quit

that Winter Duel game count to me as loose

Like I've said last time. This isn't a fast paced game at all. For ranked, if you know you lost and there's hope, just ctrl-K. Fighting it out in a 100% hopeless battle is a waste of time and life you will never get back. This game compared to other RTS's, takes forever. If any of you even seen professional gaming, they don't waste any time. It's best to pla,y smart and GG when you know it's over. Personally I'm not going to sit and wait while people turtle hard & build Mavors / Salvations when I've lost the game 35 minutes ago.

Talking about 1v1 by the mainly. I wish it was a 5x5 ladder and a big map ladder. Nothing like winning a 50 minute battle on a 20x20 map, just to lose on a 5x5 map in 9 minutes. Strangely the game play changes too much on big maps. I prefer 5x5 maps. At least they don't take a century unless it's an even fight. I just Ctrl-k on anything bigger than 10x10. That's just me.

look the replays in this thread, understand what i mean

nobody say you shell hide on world domination for 2h

Well here's a first I totally agree with V when you know a game is without salvation especially late game when its -1 why wait,? you could perhaps in that time play another game where there is the possibility to win.

I get a lot of stick for quitting games when I know we have lost, more recently I ask the permission of my team mates, which has improved the hostility towards me slightly.

There is another side to this however, and this is where my quitting habit began. So im on the side that is getting bashed horribly, but the opposing team rather than be merciful and kill me decide not to and just torture me ...... so in the beginning it was kind of a "f*** YOU!!" that has evolved into "I can't win laterrrrs".

I have to say many guys are quitting when they see me.
But yes when you know the game is totaly lost you can leave. But i will always fight until my com is alive.

Of course.
In addition, it can be your enemy to die of a heart attack. Or will be recalled to work or many others.

to my own shame i left one time just after the match started when i got voodoo the third time in a row, but thats not because i didn't see a chance to win, it was because i was pissed from the last games

i can just repeat there are no situations where it would be nessesary to leave

stand your ground and you always have a win and about the dc, if your enemy plays with you and want to troll by building a mavor when you only got you commander left and THEN get's DC (happened one time, he already built like 50 Fatboys mavor and so on to get his chat avatar in GPG) sry but i just laugh on him then, he deservs the lose in this case and i dont mind winning by "natural causes" then

When my base is being shelled by navy and they have air supremacy I will quit. I could survive another 5 mins with shields ect but i see no point. Not worth my time or their time to delay the certain end.

Yes, I may quit some games that I could, technically, win.
Usually, though, I'm correct in knowing when I've lost and when I've not.
I would estimate 5% of the games I think I've lost I could win (not will win). Assuming that, at that difficulty level, I win 20% of those, then it means that I will win about 1% of the games I leave from losing.
That's not enough for me to change my habits.
