I just played 3 games today.

In all three games, I managed to win after some decisive battles. It got to the point where I'd managed to take out all of their AA defenses and swarmed their base with Vikings while taking out their natural with MMM. By the time I was done, he only had a few Supply Depots, a burning E.Bay and maybe a Refinery.

Normally, players would gg and leave when they realize that they can't win.

But no, these guys decided to stick around.

I emptied their base and natural, but I didn't see a victory screen. So I had to take the time to comb all of the map to hunt down this tiny OC in the corner of the map. Not even mining a corner, just floating there.


Why do people do this? Do they hope that I'll get bored eventually and just leave so they could win? Is there a way to force a player out if they've got nothing left without combing the entire map for a whole 3-4 minutes?

"All you need is just a little patience."

What I do in those situations is when I am finishing my opponent I already get the necessary tech and scouting in place just in case! :D It is a habit, cannot help it.
