Concise description:Add a concede button. If you click on that button the game end immediately, giving the victory to your opponent exactly as if you have been eliminated.
Specifics/Details:Limit this options to 1vs1 games and games with only 2 players remaining.
To avoid abuse make the button only available after round 4[spoiler]-> one of the main argument against this suggestion is that it would allow easy point dumping. Currently people that want to make point dumping open tons of games and deadbeat them. It takes 3 round to deadbeat a game, therefore making the concede button available after 4 rounds is enough to prevent this to be used as a better way to do point dumping.[/spoiler]
Optional : also allow it for games with 2 teams or only 2 teams remaining.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Benefits :Trench players will have a higher attendance.
Trench players will enjoy CC more.
Trench players won't be forced to play boring moves in games that are decided since a long time.
Context :Nowadays everyone deadbeat speed game.
It started when the trench option was added. Since it is usually faster to deadbeat a speed trench game than playing it, everyone start doing it.
But currently, it became such a common thing to deadbeat speed trench games, that people start deadbeating non trench speed game as well. Also, I've seen sometimes people deadbeating 24h trench game.
Furthermore, sometimes, it is faster to play the trench speed game than to deadbeat it. But people are so used to deadbeat that they don't care.
For example :
[game]16753868[/game] -> 5 min speed, trench game. I needed two turns to eliminate the guy. But he only said I'll db and he left, forcing me to wait 10 mins.
Ok 10 mins isn't end of the world but seriously I shouldn't have to be waiting for that. That makes CC annoying not fun.
Poly trench games also always take a very long time to be over. There is some people playing poly(4) 3 min games for example it means 4x3x3 =36 mins to wait until the game is over. This is a relatively common example, and having to wait 36 mins for a game to end isn't really fun.
To conclude, I know that this suggestion has been rejected before and I know the reason why.
But a concede button must be implemented. Everyday people are deadbeating speed trench game, while deadbeating is still forbidden :

I know some of you insist that deadbeating is the only way to end a lost cause in poly trench games and you think that it should be the norm because some of you have already been doing it for some time. I have no qualms if both parties are okay with it and neither of the players is complaining about the game. Nevertheless, that still does not mean this system of intentional deadbeating is condoned.
It is still in the rules not to intentionally deadbeat and definitely no one should make a habit out of it. The player has his rights to make a report if the other player is deadbeating intentionally.
If both players involved are fine with one leaving the poly trench game, then we'll consider it a closed case. However, if one party does not approve of the intentional deadbeating, then the other player must play the game. If you give out reasons like you suddenly lost connection coincidentally when you were losing, this is highly questionable and will not be accepted. Just play the game out and lose graciously. The game is not only about you so let's also respect the people we are playing with regardless of how the game is set.
This is an isolated case and not a precedent. I will consider this matter closed as well as the other
report.
I could also add tons of quote of people saying that deadbeating is normal, common, the rule, or totally ok.
I'll take it that people commenting are aware that deabeating is the norm in trench speed game.
