In effect you can already drop out of games by not taking your turn 3 times, how is that any different to having a surrender button? It has the same net result. It is just more polite to surrender then to just stop playing altogether...

Because it can be really annoying. There is a difference between actually winning a game by eliminating everyone, and logging on and finding out everyone surrendered.

It would also be open for abuse to point dump. Join up to 100's of games and surrender each and every one of them.

I think this is a cracking idea especially in 1 v 1 speed games on maps like das schloss when it is obvious the game is won or lost, it just saves time

!

If you know the map is going to get one-sided soon enough, impose a round-limit to save your time. 20 is reasonable for something like Das Schloss, I think. Otherwise, you know you're taking the risk of a long game on those game types.

Regardless, resign buttons lead to abuse no matter the settings, and has been rejected time and time again. Moving to rejected.

In 1v1 on Das Schloss, there are 3 pretty easy ways to make the game end quickly

1. If round limits are short enough, DB
2. Make clear to your opponent that you are conceding by either keeping your stack back on your paratroopers or moving large stacks into access point where they will be killed by the killer neutral there.
3. (My favorite) use your stacks to help knock down militarilager and Kom Wilhelm while opponent goes for the other 2 objectives.

Here is what was written for those who don't want to search:

This feature is not something that can be introduced by a script or add-on (the normal subject matter here in the Tools & Enhancements forum), but only by the site itself, so it should really be in the Suggestions forum. I will move it there, where, I regret to inform you, PrivateParts, it will no doubt be soon merged with the existing topic found in the Archived Rejected Suggestions subforum.

The first couple posts of this thread are a cool look back in time.

This is suggested often. However, it has been rejected.

This was here, and it was abused. It won't be coming back. Rejected

Concise description:

how about a surrender button for those games when all is lost.

Specifics/Details:

options ... All your armies could turn to neutral. All points get surrendered, etc. not sure how this would work for terminator games, thoughts?

i don't want it

It hasn't been ignored, it's been rejected. It's been rejected because it would be a return to the situation when there was a surrender button and it was abused. It will never be reinstated.

please, PLEASE include a forfeit button for players so after the 1st turn when you know you have already lost you can quickly end a game quickly. PLEASE!!!

by **wannat8** on Fri Jul 13, 2012 11:34 pm

punish the abusers, not the countless many who would like this option. lastly, even if it does get absued i really believe it will do more good than harm.
