If no moves have been played in Daily, then I'm pretty sure resign works just like abort.
Can't abort new game

No, not if at least 4 moves have been played by both players:

Unless it is in tournaments, then any resignation is rated. However, you don't have any games to abort according to your profile.

Thanks. Games are on other account.
The site normally frowns on multiple accounts;

I just started several games. One person has vacation mode set. No moves have been made in the game yet. Problem is, ABORT is not available as an option. Clearly this guy doesn't want to play, so I'd like to abort instead of resign and lose rating. How do i do this?
