Ok, so I understand that conceding is something that shouldn't really be done. Nuffle hates everyone equally, and there's always a chance he smiles upon you and grants you the comeback.

With that in mind, why then, is there a Concede button in the client? Why not just remove it if it only serves to be a non-option?

So why is the UI element there at all?

There is a part in game rules (crp) that states a legal concession.

If you can only field 1 or 2 dudes on LOS you can concede rest of the game during your setup phase for that drive.

It frequently takes an hour or more to finish a game, so it's important that there's a way to instantly and conclusively.end a game if something comes up and you have to leave in the middle. (It's also important to disincentivize its use so it doesn't get abused.)

Page 15 and 29 of CRP is where the concession information is.

Here is where you'll find FUMBBL's rules on concessions. Personally I don't like conceding, and there are some coaches who will concede at the drop of a hat, but there are also cases where conceding is fine.

You must have read the rules more recently than us.

So when you rage quit, you won't need an admin to release the teams from the match.

Beware that if you concede without very good reason, such as the rare case of only a couple of players being able to setup at kickoff, then you can lose star players from your team on top of the fact you don't get winnings.
I've had people disappear on me and eventually they have been admin conceded after we went through the disconnection procedure and the game wasn't finished normally. But I haven't played anybody who has used the button that I recall.

I used to get conceded against regularly. Then I started mauling people faster. It still happens sometimes.

Oh no, please don't take the concede button away.

While I've never used it, I did have a game where I was playing up 740k... lost the coin flip, but the kickoff resulted in a Blitz. Managed to kill one of my opponents blitzers and score a touchdown in turn one. I was SURE I was going to get slaughtered in that game, but my opponent decided the next fifteen turns weren't worth playing out, and conceded. The concede button gives the little guy the capability to bluff being meaner than they are... how else is the big dog gonna submit? Shocked

It's there because we're allowed use it under certain circumstances.

Which don't include having to go somewhere unexpectedly and not having time to finish, apparently. Despite people saying so in this thread. I even did it myself once, not knowing any better and just thinking it was the polite thing to do.
