I noticed that the latest 2 ideas deal with this.
<a href="/kdice/kdice/ideas/if%20you%20surrender%2C%20you%20can%27t%20come%20back%20in/"> If you surrender, you can't come back in </a> <a href="/kdice/kdice/ideas/if%20you%27re%20away%20for%20more%20than%203%20or%204%20turns%20you%20can%27t%20come%20back%20in/"> If you're away for more than 3 or 4 turns you can't come back in</a> The guy that posted them is confused, but how can I blame him? There are no written rules of how this things work. - why flag up does't mean surrender? - when is a player considered away? what's the effect on refills? how is this related to lags etc. These thigs were partially discussed here and there let's collect the answers on this thread. |

at 11:15 PM, Friday March 23, 2007 EDT If the flag doesn't mean surrender, how come when a flagged player gets killed the game log says "Player Surrenders and finished 7th"?
Under your logic, shouldn't it say "Player wanted the game to end, but a meanie killed him and he finished 7th"? In war, a white flag is the international symbol for surrender. |

at 11:26 AM, Saturday March 24, 2007 EDT Ummm... deal with it? I believe this game has been up for 3 months, and it's been this way and now someone really has to have a problem with it? Are people losing points in a pandemonium of flaggings and people being away?
XicaDaSilva, what do you want from this? If it isn't broken, don't fix it, really. I hate constantly posting against your opinions, and others like you, but, these ideas shouldn't be of great concern. What I mean is that leave them on the ideas section, where they can be judged. |

I don't agree with those two ideas, and I see them as proof that these matters should be better explained. This will avoid the confusion (e.g. flagged people thinking that nobody shoul attack them). |

at 11:55 AM, Saturday March 24, 2007 EDT Ok. Just saying I've seen Ideas like that and I ignore them
To at least explain one of them, I agreed that flagging should immediately knock you out of the game. However, what's going to happen to your dice? Actually, if you want the same effect, sit away. |

at 1:04 PM, Saturday March 24, 2007 EDT The flagg has got a technical function, described at the left bar under "help":
(or select "Surrender" flag underneath your icon, which will end the game if everyone does the same). That´s all. Nothing more! The common sense will mean, that you would be glad, if the game will end in this situation - you´re satisfied with your current placement! Or perhaps you respect the good fight of your enemies and thin that they deserve their current placement. Nothing else. But of course you mustn´t stop attacking, as well the other players are able to continue attacking you! The rest is to deal out ingame... |

at 1:27 PM, Saturday March 24, 2007 EDT SUGGESTION: how about replacing the white flag with the diamonds flag used in racing to show the goal round?
It would make it clearer then... <img src="http://www.fanshop-online.de/catalog/images/pins/PR34809-100x80.jpg"/>; |

at 5:30 PM, Saturday March 24, 2007 EDT *points at Magnus's post* The explaination is there already. There's not much more that's worth doing, nothing is completely idiot-proof.

at 5:52 PM, Saturday March 24, 2007 EDT Here's what I've always viewed:
Flag- "I'm done, I want out, but I'll hang around." I will try to avoid killing them. Away- "I might have lagged out, or I might have taken off, I'm not going to tell you." I try to kill them before other players, but if they've lagged out, I try to be nice. Away & Flag- "I don't stand a chance of winning, so I'm just going to take off and leave my 8 stack in the way of everyone else." These annoy me to no end, and I go out of my way to kill them. |
