Yes I know it has been mentioned a few times in different places. And there was a good topic about it on the beta forums.

But I'd like to bring it forward again.

I think we need surrender options. It's certainly not priority # 1 at this time but it's something I think many of us would like to bring to GPGs attention.

For example a real surrender:
After a minimum of 10 minutes of play a team should be able to surrender.
Any player can call for a surrender vote.
If 50% or more of the human players on that team vote in favor then that team will lose the game and the fight will be over. All achievements and favor will be handed out according to the stats at that moment.

Another thing which might be handy is a cancel game option:
At any time any player should be able to call a vote to cancel the game.
If 50% or more of the human players on each team vote in favor then the game will be cancelled. No favor will be awared and no stats will be effected.
This is to accomodate those cases where disconnects mess up a game. Of course some peopple won't agree if the disconnect happened on the other team but I'm sure there are enough honourable people that it is a valid way to end a game and start over afresh.

With these two mechanics in place we cover most valid reasons to leave a game and thus we could also be stricter against people that quit. For some not getting any favor at all just isn't enough :P

These are just rough ideas. Maybe some people have better or more detailed ideas.
