Why surrender us a two-way action? If I don't want to play anymore - who is going to make me? I can simply ignore that game, and all. Annoying thing that it takes a slot of active games, and NEXT button skips to it, and also there's always a notifier above.
Maybe make surrender in a simple one way button?

I'll rephrase - why do you need your enemy to accept your surrender?

It used to be that you could surrender as a one-sided action. Once experience bonuses and achievements were added, however, this became a way to deny your winning opponent the bonuses he would have earned had you endured the final turn(s).

Giving the opponent the choice of accepting means that he can opt to play his final card instead and earn what is rightfully his.

I suppose that this could be used as a stalling tactic if the losing player offers a surrender without taking his turn. We could retool the feature so that you can only attempt to surrender when it's the opponent's turn -- that is, after the player has played a card.

It wouldn't work to give an arbitrary bonus to the recipient of a surrender because players could use this to inflate their wins with hardly any effort.

You sum all my thoughts about this subject.

Well I had gone all into resources, and got tornadoed, and I'm too lazy to twitch to the music. It's not like he's got a titan ritual prepared.

I think i have found to make surrender more appealing to both sides
