add vote surrender

41 votes

sometimes one player just gets ahaed too fast and everyone agrees it is a matter of time until he wins.

so we could add to the chat a "/votesurrender color" to end the game and give win to the user with that color.

example:
blue is winning no matter what
i write in chat
/votesurrender blue

chat replies to all:
red started vote to surrender to blue. 1 minute to vote.

then if other users do the same
/votesurrender blue

the game is finished and the win is given to that user all get jucy karma

I don't love this idea because players may target the person who refuses to vote to surrender (who may or may not have valid reasoning) and if one player is "that far ahead" that nobody else can hope to win it seems likely the game will be over fast anyways. In a 2 player game however this may be helpful.
But a note on implementation, you don't need to surrender to a player, you can just "vote to surrender". /votesurrender and then if all but 1 have used /votesurrender the winner is declared.

Yes, I agree with the second part of that. There should have to be a unanimous surrender, also a unanimous kick. I played with one person who got so mad that people were putting the robber on him that he decided to take the full minute each turn to spite us... We should all have the decision to kick that person.

And if this is added, please make the condition of winning the end of the turn, instead of as soon as you hit the points. It feels more rewarding when you have enough cards to win with more than the required points.

I think you should play it out no matter what. There have been games i've played where i have 9 VPs, and then the robber gets placed on me, no 7's are rolled for 12 rolls, and i get nearly zero resources for those 12 turns and someone else wins. I dont agree with giving up.

Having the surrender option in the game sounds like a good option for certain situations. People don't have to use it, and it would have to be unanimous, so what is the harm? I think it should also be a choice in the options menu for those that don't know to type the command in the chat window.

Playing 1v1 up to 16+Vps, sometimes no one can win or it’s obvious who will.

For those times, it would be great to have those two options!

"Add “/offerdraw” and “/resign” options for 1v1" (suggested by Glglgl on 2020-08-11), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

We need a forfeit/surrender option in 1v1's. Many games are clearly decided within the first 30 turns, then it is a pain to finish because there's no hope of winning. I know the disable karma command is there, but when people reject it, well, it's a pain.

Done. Type /resign or click the back arrow.
