In Response To: Rules/Ethics Question from Novi (Steve Mellen)

Online (at GG) you'll frequently encounter a variation: The opponent writes "TY" which is the standard comment at the end of the match, but he doesn't concede the match.

"TY" normally indicates that you give up but sometimes you'll see the opponent playng on after thanking you for the match, with him turning the game/match around.

In other words some players "give up" prematurely but play on if the following rolls give them a hope of turning the match around.

So personally I have had the plesure of losing several matches after the opponent prematurely gave up by writing "ty".
