I've never had the desire to try it in case there is a penalty (I've also not wanted to give up my player 1 spot). Will someone whose done this please tell me what happens? Is there a point penalty?
If there is no penalty, how do we know that people are not map shopping as well? There are maps that I know I am weak on, and the idea that people might be able to queue stack and avoid the maps they suck at irks me a bit. And if this is a problem it won't be fixed by simply fixing FTA.

I read about this in another thread and tried it myself: there is no visible penalty for resigning a game without an opponent, points or otherwise, and the game disappears from your queue. A while ago, when I was particularly frustrated by a string of losses on Foundry, I started level-shopping around it (whether P1 or P2), and didn't observe any problems, but I don't do that, anymore.

	Ugh, you're THAT guy.
	It bugs me now, but it'll be fine post-patch.
	I've never been bothered by queue stacking!
	I stack the queue, too, for the competitive edge.
	I stack the queue, too, but more out of boredom.
