Resigning?
I seem to be winning a lot of games without ever delivering the death blow.
Is it better to resign than lose, or something? |

I’m going to guess that people don’t want to see the bitter end...

RE: Resigning?
Either your opponents see that you will win in your next turn anyway and want to spare themselves the time or these are highly inactive opponents who didn't do their turn for more than 4 days in which case the system auto-forfeits for them.

Hey Kami, is there a major penalty for the folks who quit a 2v2 game when there all the bases have 5(!) HP? Those people seem like dicks.

They're not old games timing out, the players must have resigned.
I was just wondering if it's better for your ranking to resign with a base at 5 HP, than to have it wiped out and lose with it at zero on the next move? |

Playing 2v2 with a random partner does have a certain risk element to it. It is highly recommended to find a reliable and active partner on these or other forums in order to avoid any partner-induced frustrations.

There has been a discussion in another thread whether it's good sportsmanship to resign when you see that you've lost or if it is more polite to let your opponent win the game - either way is fine in my opinion.

I agree that either way is fine for me, although some people may be seeing further ahead than I am! |

RE: Resigning?
Thanks guys.
I suppose I'm an eternal optimist, so would always fight until my last breath. Resigning's not in my nature. |
