I'm pretty sure that this has been suggested or something similar has. Next time if you're unsure search.
As for the suggestion the same multi abuse problem would occur if it's 2p or however many multi's are used. Also, why would you want to just quit? If you really must leave either get a sitter or tell the players in the game that you will have to deadbeat. Why would someone agree on it if they are ahead, so to speak(Have a bonus or higher bonus). I don't see a point in a game with no risks. I would have to say that maybe the person who proposes this loses points or something. This suggestion brings out the good in the surrender button.
A surrender button would be good. I have had competitors abandon a game, making me wait their 3 turns before it is resolved. If a player intends to Surrender the game, they should have the option of taking an action and bowing out gracefully.

If they abandon a game you should use your 3 turns before they are booted to kill them and get their points.
Most of the negative feedback I get comes from speed games that I've clearly lost. When the game is effectively over, especially when I'm drunk, I tend to bounce on a speed game. I think a lot of negative feelings could be avoided if there was an "offer draw" button and a "concede" button, obviously one resulting in a tie (aka the game never happened), the other ending the game in favor of the other person. Or maybe i'm just dumb and impatient.
What do people have against deadbeating in a speed game? I understand its frustrating not being able to finish it out, but when the other person deadbeats it takes 30 minutes. And you don't even need to pay attention to it.
Now, I'm still new, and I dont' know if this has been suggested before.. but have you ever considered a suicide button? I mean... sometimes, you just want to quit a game -.- I think It'll be useful
i would point out though that any diligent player who actually checks out his opponents would soon realise that they were abusing the forfeit button.
they dont worry about abuse of the forfeit button on Chess sites! Or is that only because that Chess players recognise they are beaten when they forfeit and bow to suprerior skill?
Very true, however in a game with more luck than in chess, you must wait much longer to truly determine who'll win. I'm 90% sure that most people here would "forfeit" from having a bad drop or bad 2 rounds. I think its interesting (and right...) that a player is forced to make the best out of any situation their given.

Chess is 1 v1 so a forfeit doesn't impact on other players. One could argue a case for having forfeits in 1 v1 games but really the whole thing is about giving freemiums the opportunity of quicker games ,that just isnt in the long term interest of the site.
I would like to see a surrender option. Say a game is not going well, or you just decide you want out of a certain game. It would be nice to offer a surrender to another player, or surrender to neutral.
oh okay. Any particular reason why? I was in a game recently where it was obvious I was going to lose. I saw it coming from 3-4 turns out. But I had to keep playing my turn. I would have surrendered just to end it. Admit defeat and move on.
