Giving Up Before You Get An Opponent

[SuperDonkey]

A question I've always wondered about: what happens in 1v1 if you give up before you even draw an opponent? Say you've just started a new game and you're like, "Dangit--this is the fifth game in a row on Long Nine! Screw it, I'm giving up." Well you have no opponent yet, so how could it affect your ranking?

I realize that you get a pop-up which says it counts as a loss, but who trusts that pop-up? You get the same message on a Pass And Play game. Anyway, if anybody knows, I'm curious.
