The RIOT Act

[Super Buu]

Also, regardless of whether we're obviously not winning or not, keep in mind what Tryg said - one person's feeling of what's fun or not does not supersede the 3-4 others playing. If one decides to put a surrender vote forth and it doesn't pass, don't spend the next 5 minutes bitching about it until that person can put the next one forth. To then bitch about why everyone isn't clicking yes until the NEXT 5 minutes pass to vote again. I don't care if someone wants to put forth a vote, even on the second of each allowed vote cast. But don't get pissy and start lashing out or whining if everyone didn't vote the way that person wanted. I don't even care if someone says "K, whatever, its obviously over but fine" and then lets it go, because I (and most of us) do the same thing when a surrender vote DOES go through when I feel I'm finally starting to get somewhere "Really? I'm finally getting some kind of gear on Jax and we call the early game? Ugh".

Move. On.

And I don't mean move on by disconnecting over the vote not going a particular way either, taking precedence over the 3-4 other people and making the call for them in the end.

What Waff said. I only have a couple hours in an evening free time. If I'm not having fun, and we're OBVIOUSLY losing over 35 minutes into the game - ie their towers are all up, we're pushed to inhibitors and dying repeatedly - I'm gonna ultimately quit if we don't surrender, for the simple reason that I'm not going to get stressed out and waste what precious little free time I have doing something that I really don't want to be doing.

That's why when I'm playing with friends and don't want to surrender, I'll usually concede after a couple of votes because I don't want to be a dick to two of my friends when they're not having fun. If I'm ignoring someone else's enjoyment then I have no right to chastise them for ignoring mine. Being a good sport is a two-way street.

tl;dr: use your common sense and don't be a dick.
