Concede appears broken!

You quit immediately and still get favor points...

from Demigod Forums

I've have two games now in which the following has happened:

1) Text appears saying a player wants to concede the game and immediately after, a message says that AI has taken over for that player

2) The game continues and when it ends, that players appears to get 40 favor points

That sounds like bugs to me because:

A ) When a player chooses the concede option, he should not be allowed to quit until all players on that team has also voted to concede the game. The current wording, however, do seem to indicate that you will quit immediately, which also seems wrong.

B ) If you manage to quit early anyway, shouldn't you get 0 favor points?

 

(Also, bonus bug: A few (!) patches ago, the patch log said that instead of an AI reading as "ping 0" it should say "AI". Well it still doesn't.)

hmm, interesting. should definitley be 0 favour if you leave the game, conceding or not. i.e. only getting 40 points if you stay and/or the whole team concedes.

also, i verifiy the AI/ping bug.

When you quit a game it automatically sends a concede notification for your player so that if the remaining players want to concede they can choose concede to end the game and your AI won't hold it up.  Though I believe it shouldn't give you 40 favor if you leave.

So for 1, you were just seeing someone leave the game, not press concede.  Don't know about 2.

I did not know that if a player quits, a concede message is also sent. That seems a bit unecessary and confusing, since the AI should have no say regarding concedes or not.

Still, the message text when you try to concede indicate that you will quit immediately, rather than placing your vote and remaining in game.

Concede works.  If everyone concedes the game ends, otherwise they continue playing.  If someone quits it makes them vote to concede before quitting.

If it did not do this, then a player who has his teammates quit would not be able to concede the game and would have to play with AI teammates or also quit himself.  If everyone on a team quit without this functionality, then the other team would be forced to play against all AI.
