The fact that Alleg is the only online game where it's considered "sportsmanlike" to NOT resign.
If you did that in Star Craft you would be insulted for not just conceding when you were known to be beat.
This is the same for many other games as it's widely considered a waste of time by the person(s) trying to hold on for dear life just prolonging (and often making a good game boring) the end game using strats which makes it hard to attack but easy to defend even though you have no chance of winning.
Just putting that out there....

HINT: We had already waited through 25 minutes of wasted time due to SysX by the time we started

Classy. The last person to do this was Aarmstrong against us in a squad game which led to the rapid demise of PK. I would say it would lead to the rapid demise of NI but frankly they are already there

Agreed...that is why if a resign doesn't pass, I don't feel guilty for leaving. I personally won't waste that much time out of my life knowing the team will lose anyways.

You chose IC after masta did and then readied.
And your squad was 25 minutes late to get to the game.

Our squad probably assumed (rightfully so) only one person would need to show up to win via resign

Not really sure all the @#(! talk is necessary. Only the insecure feel the need to rub it in people's faces. Or people with lisps.

You would think you would have had some extra time after your resign to think up a better insult but apparently you have yet to graduate high school and that would be too difficult for you.
I for one love mouthy newbies like you because you are oddly silent while riding your pod in game. I would guess you are a new hider account for clint but he is fairly mouthy in game.
