Anyone else read PB 8 and how it ended?

How should we handle consession in this game?

I understand this might still be 10-20 turns in the future, but it pays to think of these things beforehand, I guess.

Here's Krill proposal:

That said, I agree with the other posters views that in future we need to implement a concession mechanic on the forum. My preferred method is that the moment any player wants to concede the game, they just PM a previously specified lurker stating that they want to concede and to whom (could be "Concede to everyone" or just "Concede to player X"). Once a predetermined number of players have sent a message that they are willing to concede to player X (Concede to everyone counting as a concession to player X in this instance) then the lurker confirms with every player that has sent a PM that orders still stand and then posts in the public thread that the game is over. The predetermined number could be every player but the winning player needs to concede, or just something like 2/3 players, or even something abstract like players controlling 75% of the in game population or land area need to concede for the game to end. But whatever happens, need to be done privately.

One could put a number at more than 50% of survivors, including 2nd score player, or 2nd AND 3rd score player if these have less than 7,5% point difference between them. Otherwise, once everyone but nr. 2 has agreed to conceed, he might be asked in his lurker thread about what he thinks about...conceeding. Now he knows that the rest of the world is ready to give in, meaning he can't expect much help from them.
