Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
As a Seasons player, I find VERY frustrating when an opponent conceed the game near the end. When we work hard on a draft and cannot play it, it removes all the fun of the game. To me, it's actually highly unfair-play to do that.
To fix this frustration, I see 2 options:
- table creator could fordbid "conceed" option, then players cannot conceed during the game (maybe it should forbid it only after X% of the game)
- when a player want to conceed, other players vote for agreement
- when a player conceed, other players can "finish" the game, as it happens when a player leaves the game• What is your browser?

My last 40 Seasons game: 7 conceed: 86%, 60%, 97%, 86%, 77%, 100%, 97%
Those are just ragequit (except one who apologized doing this, the only one).
@TheClaudeQc I don't get why this would make players out.

When you agree to a game, you should be agreeing to play it to completion.
The Conceed feature should be changed into an Offer to Conceed, that can be accepted or rejected by the other player(s).
The current unilateral conceed option assumes that determining a winner is the only reason to play, but some people play for fun.

I agree the current system is frustrating. Changing it to offer to concede would be good.

i agree, you are thinking of your next move, and without notice, the game end because of conceed.
"offer to conceed" and let the other player accept or not will definitly arrange the problem

No thanks. Forcing someone to play out a lost game just for your enjoyment is not the way to go.

If you agree to the game, you play to the end.
Conceeding is the online equivalent of flipping the board.

Qutting is equivalent to flipping the board. Not conceding.

Conceding literally means 'admitting their defeat', not flipping the board or ragequitting. The game has ended.
If you want to always play to the final move and scoring regardless the result, just create a group for that.
Players should not suffer from forcibly playing out games already clearly lost.

I strongly favor the last option: Allow remaining player to finish the game if someone concedes.

For me, we have option to resign is the biggest advantage of 2-player game.
No matter for the situation of the game progress. (boardgamearena.com/bug?id=28862 is another suggestion to remove restriction with the timing)
So I downvote these 2 options.
>- table creator could fordbid "conceed" option, then players cannot conceed during the game (maybe it should forbid it only after X% of the game)
>- when a player want to conceed, other players vote for agreement
And :+1: for the last option, if it means to allow resignation with free timing even in 3+ player games.
>- when a player conceed, other players can "finish" the game, as it happens when a player leaves the game
