[GP] Surrender/Resign/Forfeit Button

[Woodruff]

I suggest adding a 'Surrender' button to every game.

Two reasons:
- Sometimes, towards the end of the game, it is obvious who is going to win the game. But because there is no provision to end the game then, the remaining players must continue playing it. This may end up taking several days if the players are not that active.

- I have had a couple cases when a player decides to not continue the game for whatever reason - stalemate, vacation, bored, etc, etc. It would be nice to allow him to leave peacefully and let the remaining players enjoy the rest of the game. Otherwise, the player's decision to quit would cost the rest of the players 3 full days until the system automatically kicks him/her out.

No.

prag, this has been suggested and rejected an equally high number of times. It just isn't going to happen. Merged.

Yeah, they tried it at the debut of the site and it was rejected one month later:

2. No more surrender button.
It was causing problems with people pushing it too early in the game or to stop players from getting cards.

Hello all!

is it possible to create a 'i'll surrender' button?

when you know the game has played, with this button the game could be finished faster instead of taking turns while you know it's useless.
Especially for speedgames this would become handy. So you don't have to wait until the opponent really eliminate you. With pushing the 'surrender' button you can start another speedgame right away, without keeping waiting for your useless turns.
Same for the one who is winning. game would be finished faster...

What do you think about this idea?

this has been rejected many times because some people would just point dump with it.

How about surrender-button that activates in the round 20?

As mentioned above, this has been suggested and rejected many times. I will be merging it into the appropriate topic in the Archived Rejected Suggestions forum.

I play a lot of 1-1 speed games right now......

And i waste a lot of time when i have control of the board and am certain to win......and then my opponent just stops taking his turn.....i have to wait for 15 minutes if it is a big map....because he has to be absent for 3 rounds before he is kicked out and it takes me longer to clear the board.

It is also a bit annoying for me to have to come back to a game that i know is lost when i have 2-3-4 speed games going.

It would be nice if there was a surrender button that you could click and end the game with your defeat. Especially for speed games.

It would have to be confirmed two times, so that after you click it first time there would be a pop-up asking "Do you want to surrender?" and after clicking a second time there would come a second pop-up window asking "Are you sure you want to surrender?"

3 clicks should ensure that no one complains they hit the button by mistake.

It could also be used in team games as long as all the remaining players on a team follow the same 3 clicks each......if one fails to do it then the whole team has to continue.

You can capitulate in chess and back-gammon....so why not here?

Why should we have to wait for people that just leave a game??????????????

[SirSebstar]

no,
just no
this suggestion comes up every other month. its simple and its easy, but its also proven to be a hotbear for abuse. sorry but this will not be implemented again...

[40kguy]

I know what your trying to say. Its a pain in the ass. what if they have like under a certain number of regions? so if you have under 5 regions you can surrender.

Concise description:

• Games can go on long after a person has obviously lost
• Games can go on after a person has lost interest

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• It saves time for everyone involved
• Less people will deadbeat with this option
• No need to suicide your troops to hope for an early death when the game has obviously already been decided

[SirSebstar]

no
use search.

[blakebowling]

Rejected. Again, and again, and again.

[babagonosh]

How can it be abused?

example please

[blakebowling]

How can it be abused?

example please

people with multiple accounts, or point dumpers, can easily give points from one account to another.

I don't want to interupt the conversation but I want to support Babagonosh in this. When so many people ask for it, why not implentate it? How could people abuse it when being absent is the same as giving up, abuse could be noticed in the same way as they use multiply accountants and give points from one account to another, it's the same. The moderators should have a script where they can see how many times accountants give up in combination with another account.

it was implemented, and it was removed, due to abuse

[mr. white123]

There is abuse in the whole game so why don't u remove the whole game?

Mr.whight has a point. if people wanted to point dump they just create a bunch of speed games then dont play. its the same as giving up.

What is the reason for rejecting this? If the person accepts the loss for surrendering, of course.

Concise description:

• It should be good, in my opinion, that there is an option in two-player games that could make resigning possible. It happens sometimes that it is apparent that the game is lost for one player even few rounds or more before the end. Playing it without possibility of resigning is a bore for both players. I appreciate the battle heart and faith in tactics and luck, but sometimes you can plainly see that noting can bee done. Good commanders know when battle is lost.

Specifics/Details:

• resign option should be introduced only in two-player games in order not to affect other players in their strategies. If the player submit resign note, the game is ended, he lose and the opponent wins. (maybe it can be even marked in the past games with some sign that the game is lost/won by resignation, but it's not necessary.)

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• I think that this option will speed up some games and avoid long and boring endings
