Excellent idea. I like it. Maybe make it 50 turns or more though.

Excellent idea. I would love to see it implemented.

I like your improvements to the idea. Thanks.

it would take the fun out of the game...if you're the one winning, you want to finish them off, it says so on the home page...something like "feel the thrill of victory as you eliminate you last opponent" - whenever i get the chance of winning, i wouldnt want the looser to "surrender" and take away ...

Another reason, for not implementing the suggestion, is that it can be downright annoying - for the winner - when a player decides 'oh stuff this, I'm only going to lose, I'm going to bed.'

In real life I hate that. It strikes me as unsporting.

And I don't think it would be much fun in virtual ...

i dislike the idea, it ruins the game

But some people want a style that ruins the game
I feel Escalating Cards ruins the game, so I don't choose to play those games. But I am not denying everyone else the option of choosing that style of a game.

[EDIT] Besides then when anyone complains ...

What would it hurt to give people the choice of that kind of a game? It is not like those against this will be forced to play that way.

So we are all denied something because someone might abuse it? There are cheaters on this site, does that mean none of us ever get to play games again?

I hate escalating games - too short and not a lot of strategy needed.


I once thought as you do. Hopefully you will learn the error of your ways sooner rather than later.
I still think surrender could be an option like Fog of War. The person who gets the highest cards that can then wipe out the ...

Maybe for 5 minute games only?

But I do see your point.

I go back and forth on this. I had someone attack me and they lost 14 armies to my 4. I have attacked 6 on 1 before and lost 5. I honestly see no pattern. I win some, I lose some. Sure it is frustrating to lose and have to revise your strategy, or lose an entire game because of rolls. But I don't ...

Aaah, and if all their armies were made into neutrals, would that have the same effect?

Oooh wait, I get it. In a terminator game they could surrender to someone else.

umm have you heard of: "Thinking outside the box" ??

Risktaker17 wrote:No been rejected too often

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.

AAFitz,
I like that idea. My guess is that is what the profile is for though.

an option for some kind of a draft to pick terrorities would be an interesting idea.

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.

I would be willing to give it a try.

I like the idea of point penalties, but then not everyone cares about points or rankings.

I do like the idea of treaties being signed. I ran into an obsessive compulsive player who stabbed me in the back in the game, broke our treaty, left me positive feedback, and then after I left negative he ...
