Still trying
-
and hoping an abort button can be implemented for emergencies.
-
@betterlate1-0 what would it do?
-
@majorwordster my response was rejected. odd
-
@betterlate1-0 Isn't that what the 'resign' button can do? End a game?
-
@mapmakere abort means if something happens and both abort it means no penalty and it is agreeable to both.
-
@mapmakere quitters are obnoxious. resign means agreeable to both
-
@mapmakere Back in Antediluvian times there used to be an Abort option: If both players agreed, the game would be canceled and wouldn't appear as a win or a loss for either player. I imagine that's what BL is wishing still existed.
-
@thatguythere202 sure
-
@thatguythere202 Oh maybe that's it. If we're wishing, I'd wish for an Adjourn button (also from those times).
-
@thatguythere202 oh! I remember that now. Had players requesting aborts a lot when losing, with no justification. Because they didn't want their ratings going down. And occasionally with really wacky reasons. Usually declined without an explanation.
I thought adjourn was the same thing though..?
-
@mapmakere I learned most times adjourn was never finished
-
@majorwordster No, Adjourn allowed you to put the game on hold 'til both players were back.
-
@betterlate1-0 Ah, ok. We've had that conversation before.
-
@mapmakere Ah, okay, I DO remember that. I hated adjourn. Same as abort, people wanting to adjourn usually had no intention of ever returning and finishing the game, they wanted out of a potential loss. I declined ALL adjourn requests.
-
@majorwordster absolutely not same
-
@mapmakere some of those old fashioned gadgets were very handy arg just told me i am now a new user and can only post 1 every 120 seconds
-
@betterlate1-0 And I had the opposite experience, which is why I'd like it as an option (as it was then).
