Question about conceding

#1 Post by MadMarx » Mon Nov 23, 2020 5:17 pm

If I concede in 1v1 after my opponent has left, will the game simply cancel?

Don't you win when your enemy is left?

You don’t win immediately, another phase needs to go through first... I didn’t want the game canceled, but I was getting crushed so I didn’t want the win either, so I just conceded before he officially left since I don’t know the exact specifics of how it works...

...it might cancel, it might give you the win, or it might crash. Link me if you find out.

Thanks jmo, here's what I found out from the five games that were left by my opponent:

1. One game was left with no votes cast, the game did *not* immediately end with me winning, but when the next phase processed I was declared the winner.
2. I voted cancel in one game after the opponent left, it immediately canceled.
3. Two games I voted cancel before the other person left, they both canceled once the other person left (without having to wait for another order resolution like in scenario #1).
4. I did not want to find out what would happen if I voted concede after the other player left, so I voted concede just before the other person officially "left" (after they used all three excused absences in a row).

Might have been an interesting experiment, maybe next time! ;-)
