Ok - I am still new to the community, and have looked for posts about boot/surrender/Vote to end etiquette, and can't find any. My question is this: Are there any rules/guidelines posted anywhere concerning when those options are relevant?
I joined a 2v2 Auto game the other day where my partner disappeared after making his (horrific) territory selections. Opponents booted him like clockwork - which I can accept - but then refused "vote to end" and even refused to accept my surrender! When I suggested politely that we end the game one way or the other, the only response was:
why don't you step in my gauntlet Bitchnuts?
(I don't know if others can see the chat in the linked game)

The language doesn't bother me in the least, but making me play a 1v2 from turn 1 is just really petty, IMHO. I withdrew the surrender, and proceeded to actually beat them, so I got the last laugh,
but my question remains:
When is it "generally acceptable" to ask for VTE? I really *want* to try the "random team" games, but it seems like half of them involve someone dropping within the first 2 turns -- why is it that people won't agree to a VTE? I am also mystified that they didn't accept my surrender...
