concede system

democracy for demigod!

September 2, 2009 12:13:57 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

i would like the concede system to end a game if the majority of the players of one team have conceded. it happens many times, that 2 of 3 or 3 of 4 etc... have conceded and the rest doesnt. sometimes they dont know when a game is over and some dont know HOW to concede (really! then you begin to explain, but sometimes that doesnt help). perhaps some dont speak english and dont know what "concede" means (then explaining is useless)... whats bad about that is that the players who already have conceded either just disconnect (which appears in the statistic) or stop playing and wait at the healthcrystal for the game to being finished.

imo it would really improve the game and i think it wouldnt cost you too much time to implement that.

what do you think? discuss please.

I think this would be nice at times, however it would suck even more if one player on your team wanted to concede early on and you made a come back. You are now minutes from victory and your other teammate disconnects forcing you into a loss because you now have 2 of 3 who have opted for the loss-- 1 early on and the other from an involuntary disconnect.  I think this senario is far worse than the times when you have to play through or wait on a loss you deserve.

very easy to solve: only the votes of players who play count. if one disconnects, his vote doesnt count.

I have had game where my whole team concede's but me and we came back and won. Therefore I am against this idea because the said situation would not have a chance to occur anymore

If my Team asks me to concede, or playing further will teach me nothing I don't already know, I'll concede. However, forcing someone to quit a game they're happy to continue to play because you don't want to isn't something I agree with. Talk with your Team Mate, rationalise with them.

This could be made a host option, 66% or 100% agreement required to concede.

Good idea. 100% should be standard though. Many people concede too early.
