Hardly man. Read into it what you will but actions speak louder than words and my track record in every game I've ever played shows otherwise.

Gandalf and you are both saying you are wanting to resign by saying you expect everyone else to resign in that position. If you wouldn't in your examples, why would you expect someone else? It doesn't make sense, your arguements are very illogical.

No matter what comes out of this, I highly doubt people are going to accept SG resigns anyway. Resigning a squadgame is going to be frowned upon until it becomes the norm. But by then, squadgames will have become glorified PUGs (if they aren't already). So whatever man.

dorj's proposal to collectively change everyone's attitude is laughable to begin with. Spidey's responses are making it worth reading

DID YOU READ THE EXAMPLES I GAVE OF SQUADS RESIGNING AS RECENTLY AS 2 DAYS AGO OR ARE YOU AS STUPID AS YOU LOOK.

I WOULD EXPECT OTHER PEOPLE TO DO IT BECAUSE THEY DID.

DO YOU WANT ME TO BALANCE YOUR CHECK BOOK FOR YOU TOO?

Does this mean @SF should just resign every game against us now? Frankly if we can beat the stuffing out of you down 9 players in a squad game why the $#@! do you even launch the game?

Spidey. The quote you made said GG reign wasn't even on the point you first of all made. You said, and let me get your own quotes so I can make you actually go "oops sorry!" was:

but what I said was...

Dorjan wrote:QUOTE (Dorjan @ Jan 30 2012, 11:33 PM) An example I can think of would be a two hour match where both teams are exhausted. One team finally takes the main tech base of the other team who have ran out of funds and have no active miners. That was the best fight of the game everyone is like *sigh* that was amazing. But now no one has the energy to keep on fighting, it was a good run, we might be able to continue but real life needs to happen now. GG. End of match #Resign.

The game was great, for two hours. Then a big event happens and one team is now fully stuffed. They prob could fight back into it, but it's been going for two hours and people need to go.

That's the example. Now please, say they should fight on for another 2 hours or wait until the other team finishes for 30 mins while your guys pack up and leave since they gtg kinda ruining the experience instead of saying gg #resign.

Clearer?

See, you mis-understand again!

Classic, need me to do any basic math for you too now you're bring it up?

All squads have different mentalities to this, and to say "fight until the end for honor and glory" is not universal. Some people do have lives, and don't want to drag on longer than they have to.

From what I understand nobody's arguing about anything.

Dorjan is just "provoking discussion" (I don't understand why you would start such a topic and make such an issue out of this if you are not behind the motion, Dorj, as this topic only serves to create drama) and spidey is retorting like all lawyers must.

What resulted is a thread full of balls which does not affect anything.

For what it's worth anyway:

I agree with spidey here.

SGs are intended for competitive and gentlemanly play. Parties involved in SGs should be held to a higher standard of play than that of the PUG player. Resigning should only be used as a last resort and should not become a form of accepted practice otherwise you are leading yourself down a slippery slope which will result in 9 minute resigns.

p.s.: I haven't seen anyone else argue your point except you, Dorj. If you wanted only to provoke discussion then I think you have your answer.
