If you don't feel like playing any more...just suicide.

If you already lost and are just waiting for them to kill you...just wait.

I've established that there are exactly zero cons.

• Add a forfeit game button for speed games that consist of 3 or more people

• Once a game is forfeited it would be the same as if the person had missed three turns and was kicked out of the game all their troops will be turned into neutral territories, they loose points to the game winner etc.

• There are times where we are playing speed games and something comes up where we have to leave the game this happens to everyone and is not a big deal but it is kind of a pain for others who are playing and don't want to wait 15 minutes during a speed game. The forfeit game button would essentially be a curtesy button where if you know you're going to be gone for the rest of the game anyway you can just leave. I understand that this could be abused but that is why it would not be available for games with only 2 people and people can abuse the game in the same way currently by just waiting 15 minutes i'm sure that abuse could still be regulated even if there was a rule like this.

• The idea of adding a Surrender button to all games has been done to death and needs no explanation, nor a rehash of the same arguments (where a large % of players want this, versus a large % that don't). However here's a new take on it

• Add the option for a host to enable this facility during creating a game. New ones only, not existing.
• If You don't want it in your game then fine, don't enable it. Nothing will be different for you.
• If you don't want to play in such a game, fine also, avoid these types (perhaps even add this as an option in your Control Panel so you can "Foe" this option and you would never see these games!)
• If however you do like the sound of it, then click the Enable when creating the game. This would be displayed alongside the config of the game for game type,re-inforcements, FOW etc
• And if you want to play in such a game then you can choose to enter the game, or not, nobody is forcing you!

• Those that want to play games that can be resigned when it's an obvious outcome can now do so, and are generally happier - more chance of them becoming/renewing Premium membership, I'd have thought?
• Those that love dragging games out needlessly can carry on for weeks or months longer, and their fellow players can also revel in the tedium this brings It's no change for them so they won't be complaining
• Some limitations can easily be considered for this option e.g. no surrenders allowed within the first 5 rounds on any but the smallest of maps, no surrenders if you have 20% or more of the regions on the map, no surrenders unless you're the weakest player. Any of these work for me and could be enhanced further.
• To introduce this, add this as a Beta option and ask for one hundred volunteers to try it out for a while, then let the playtesters feedback comments. If it's proved to work ok then it can be rolled out to all 20,000 of us (or however members many it is these days!)

However, that idea, too, was turned down.

Longer minimum turns, each player can only surrender once in every week across all their games, Premiums only, any surrender automatically is logged and reported to the Multi hunters on a special report, A player surrendering loses double points as a punishment (but the winner only gets the normal rate) etc etc. All this and more could be thrashed out in a pilot/Beta test and not implemented until sufficient safeguards were in place.

I take the point that a game where you were relishing the prospect of delivering the final crushing blow would be frustrating if they all gave up, but it's a win, and hey how often are you certain of such a thing? I have one now as it happens, and it must be a first this year. Even if they all lammed out on me I'm cool as it was a great battle to get this far.

please take time to search for previous similar suggestions and, if possible, to check current and archived threads before posting something "new"
