Bailing When You're About to Lose

[Lightning Fury]

Hmm interesting topic. It depends a lot on how my opponent plays. If he is skilled and it was a fun game, I always say 'GG' and end my turn. On the other hand, if he did not deserve the respect I gave him by showing off, I normally quit to the challenge screen. Also if it is clear it's going to be a very bad MU for me or he makes a play I can't recover from, I concede the game after a gg. No point in waiting around for the defeat screen. But politeness is important here since you have to be sportsmanlike when quitting.

The way you think is wrong and selfish. You already won. Don't be a sore winner.

Not sure if people quitting the program app still prolongs the game. Be happy with a concede.

I have no desire to be either selfish or a sore winner, so I'm very glad to have started this conversation. I do sincerely apologize if I offended in any way, as that was certainly not my intention!

Blessings, and happy gaming!

Has happen 2 me more than few times.

Well you battled an idiot. Any warrior with enrage should know he is in a delicate position. My most satisfiying victories are against excellent players, i find no joy in beating an idiot who hands me the game on a silver platter

I didn't find joy in it because he was an idiot, I found joy in it because he thought he had won so he made an effort to be as much of an annoying asshole as possible, and then I punished him for it.

Ok guys now that you have decided how we approach the endgame, you have to set some rules about how everyone should play this game.

Now that you've decided what we can and can't talk about on these forums, maybe you should make the rules clear so we don't upset you anymore.

Im pretty sure both shuffle bug and dropping extra rating are real. Shufflebug has hit me too many times. Rating drop makes sense. You are quitting early. Therefore your quality of opponent value goes down. Hence the reason you see all these high ranked players climbing the ladder at the beginning of the season. At the end of the month however, they are much lower than they should be because they are quitting hopeless games so they can get more games in.
