It’s poly and trench. I do think there’s an issue with retroactively adding the button to games. It should only be added to new games imo. We had a guy in chat last night confused about it. When people joined those games they were agreeing to a set of rules. The game ends when it’s over. To change those rules mid game without even telling them is not okay.

How does the resign button change the rules of the game? It's only for 1v1s and polymorphic games. When one player knows they are defeated in a trench game that could take 10+ rounds to end, they will simulate resigning anyways and attack neutrals/drop away from enemy lines to end the game quicker.

If the resign button has been revised recently, then that needs to be announced via an ANNOUNCEMENT to avoid any confusion.

I’m not sure it was ever announced / headlined outside of suggestions thread.

It is available on the website since today. I guess I should have made the announcement but I quit CC team 2 days ago and I can't make announcement anymore. Will try to find someone to make the announcement for me.

Sounds good. What's the downside to having it in any 1vs1? Your oponent quits you win. Seems good to me.

Check the original suggestion for the resign button.

https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... lit=resign

To summarize if you don't want to go through all of it : many people were against it, for this reason it wasn't implemented despite many suggestions asking for it. It was then adopted for trench speed game only because of the specificity of these settings. Then because no complaint have been raised since the implementation in speed trench game ( 1 year ago : viewtopic.php?f=634&t=222020 ) a new suggestion was made to extend it from speed trench 1vs1 and poly to 24h trench 1vs1 and poly.

Maybe in a year we can start discussing the extension to all 1vs1 and poly games.
Even though, I don't think 1vs1 and poly NO trench game are such a burden to finish, on the vast majority of maps, once the game is decided those are finished really fast. Not the same for trench game obviously
