Subject: Re: Not to bring anybody down....
joshi tm: resigning is a hard thing to do in a multi-player simultaneously played game (like ponds & suggested Strategy War)

My opinion: Proper way to do it in a pond is to just bid 1, but do not tell anyone. Do not post that you are doing that, just do it and move on. Telling anyone, even posting it in the game discussion board - I also agree is cheating. For example, I usually play my ponds as soon as they are on my game sheet. So if I make a move, and then someone else comes along and posts that they are bidding one - then all the other players will have information that I did not have - hence, cheating. So again, best thing to do in my opinion is just bid 1 and don't say anything.

Nothing else would work. I've heard some suggest just take a person out of the game where there bid does not count. The same issue as my example above comes into play. Lets say I see someone with 1 point left, so I bid 2. Then they come along, resign so there bid no longer is good. Then all of a sudden my safe 2 bid would be the losing bid - and I never had a chance to know that information.

There are probable some complex things that could be done, all with problems of one sort or another - so again, easiest is for the person to bid 1, not say anything, and move on.

Now the questions - what to do with someone who wants to resign a game of Strategy War. Well my suggestion is to have a "resign button" - then from that point on, have that person "auto-timeout" - that is their highest card "points" are donated to the pot for the rest of the hands. They no longer win or gain any points.
