RBP11 IT and Tech Issues Thread

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.

Did you pop some Giant Death Robots from a hut?

I'm in favor of the informal method of posting in your spoiler thread and asking lurker(s) to carry your message and facilitate.

As in PB8, its not possible to force someone to play who doesn't want to, so in the event concession is disputed, we might need a substitute player. Otherwise,

My wish would be that, as a player in this game, when you feel the time for concession has come, formally state so in your thread and play on until you hear in an authoritative way that the time has come to stop playing. I would request that our lurkers, keeping in mind that this is a mostly greenish game, would stay quiet until the general consensus of global lurkers is that the game should be conceded for X or Y player, and then steer the conversation in that direction in the tech thread. I do not want the lurkers to decide the outcome, but I want to protect the players from being unduly influenced by seeing in the tech thread that other players are ready to throw in the towel.

I generally agree with this.
