I had quite a few chances to start going for this but didn't until now when I went "you know what? I'm gonna 3 pile with curses!" My plan was 3 piling curses/villages/schemes/hamlets(whichever 3 emptied first). My opponent immediatelly resigned and left without even a gg. I wondered if he considered what I did rude.

My guess is that he was more shaken by you getting a second Double Goons turn than buying the Curses. Buying the Curses out is occasionally a good strategy (though it's possible he didn't know).

I wouldn't consider it rude at all - If anything I think your opponent immediately resigning without saying anything is the rude thing. It's not as if you're showboating or delaying the game's outcome or something, you're just forcing a quick ending, which I would actually consider clever and courteous in a Goons game; much better to try to end with a win quickly than drag it out buying coppers.
-
And I would say that if forcing a quick ending can be clever and courteous, calling it rude when your opponent immediately resigns without saying anything may be a bit... well... resigning sounds fine to me!

Oh, I think resigning is a perfectly fine move, and I would probably have done it at the same time as the OP's opponent in this game, but I also think it's at least worth acknowledging in some way... there wouldn't be any of this kind of confusion if the resign came with even a quick "gg".
