some folks get real peed when it happens but I don't get wound up about it. Some people quit becuase they feel out of their depth and this is understandable. The problem is when the host quits having invited players but only if he can win!

Please, if you are hosting and inviting then play the full match. If you feel out of your depth, or are new to the game, then switch your mic on and engage in conversation or ask for help, pointers. No need to pull the plug unless there is a serious lag issue or the opponent is being rude, obscene, etc. I would rather spend 20 minutes helping someone than engage in a dogfight in these instances. In my early encounters with the better players, Beaver, Pope, Brickster, etc I always asked them for help to improve my game and they were only too happy to give it.
