haha i know it sucks

Have there been any thoughts about implementing a "resign" function? I would be nice for others not to have to wait on timeouts when someone has to resign but can not.

If there is a thread where this has already been discussed, please nudge me to it.

Thanks,

Drew

When Conquer Club was in its infancy, there was a resign button, but it was removed because it seemed to encourage more and more poor-sportsmanship---people were rarely finishing games, which took away from the winner's enjoyment of the game. I know I'd be somewhat disappointed if during my rare wins, my opponent just left before I could eliminate them or sweep the board.

Although when polled, there is overwhelming support for a resign button. I think you might be in the minority, andy!

Thanks for the replies.

I can see where freemium members could abuse the button to get around the 4 game limit and join a new game without really finishing the ones they're in. However I do not see any advantage for premium members to do so.

Cheers,

Drew

Completely disagree Rocket - I've played with this on another site and believe me it's crap. No really crap!
Like people lose 6v3 on 1st turn and resign!

Get the hump - resign! Totally changes the game and ruins strategy. Neutrals everywhere - it doesn't work.

Not an advantage for premiums - but they would be able to screw the game for others in one of those dice *ahems* that we've all been in......

What was the other site? Did it have a points/ranking system? I jus think that in the case of a game clearly being lost (a 1v1 on a large map, for example,) it would be nice to save precious time. There are also options such as all players having to agree that a person can resign, which would help prevent people resigning to hastily.

getting worse

by **nippersean** on Mon Mar 01, 2010 3:30 pm

Other site was strategy games network. The idea other players agree maybe ok - dunno. Just i've seen lots of multi games turned around because someone resigns in a huff and another player has their bonus region protected by neutrals etc. I played as a freemie there for a while and you ended up planning on someone resigning during the game. It just didn't work.
If it was just hurrying up a lost position 1v1, fair enough, but it didn't work out like that. Maybe just hit neutrals when it's 1v1 and lost. But seriously, the number of people who got the arse after a bad set of dice n resigned....

OK, I think I get it. Although there really is no difference in quitting vs. resigning, by allowing resign, it makes it more likely that people quit?

by **nippersean** on Mon Mar 01, 2010 5:44 pm

yep, prematurely and screwing the game for the other players. Usually after a bad dice tantrum

you can't make people play, though

isn't there an option other than setting all their armies to neutral? what sort of penalties could be implemented, within reason?

Of course not...in which case, they deadbeat out of the game. Most people prefer to go ahead and play it out rather than do that. However, a resign button would change that, leaving neutrals laying all about in non-1-vs-1 games.

by **mybad** on Sun Feb 13, 2011 3:12 pm

I should be allowed to quit this game Game 8252895

I can't make any deployments or assaults, so until I fort those 2 up close enough to roll a 2v2 on somebody and after I'm completely neutralized. but it will take me more than 72 hours to resign, in disgrace, so I just keep forting.

by **SirSebstar** on Sun Feb 13, 2011 3:51 pm

next time dont take that spot. and no, There could be someone foolish enough to take that spot before finishing you off.. other then that. ouch man

Could you not have a resignation button? but then its up to your oppenents whether to accept it or not!! if not then play goes on!! It would be handy for 1vs1 on maps like hive were you couldn't be bothered making the sweep!!

this has been suggested a LOT of times. I has been implemented in the past. each time there was a LOT of abuse. It will NOT come back

by **mybad** on Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:10 am

all the whining over neutrals. I'd rather roll against neutrals than around cowards who just stack for months at a time then end up winning.
