You should be able to quit yourself when the timeout box is up. When some people have crashed or ragequit, we sometimes decide to remake the game. Currently you have to wait 30 sec for each person to quit, and let me tell you, the 'quitting queue' is massively annoying to be in.
Secondly. When someone quits, I see no reason why this can't make the client send a "Bye guys, I just quit" message to the rest of the clients in the game instead of assuming a disconnect and waiting 30 secs. Crashing, ok, I can see how that would be difficult, but quitting? You have to use the interface to f10 and click quit ffs.
