Resignation Etiquette
Sort:
you can always type "good game" in the message box, and then resign.
Typing "good game" and then hitting the resign button should be fine. I don't think you need to make a big production out of resigning. 
Yeah....I'm making it quite convoluted, aren't I ? I think I can't even remember it !

I write something like good game... Or something concerning the game and resign.
Yeah Kit and after you resigned you go and look in the forums for something silly Hotflow wrote to ease the pain of the defeat.
The Prime Minister of Australia once called the Prime Minister of Malaysia, recalcitrant. We can see why.
I doubt that man is Malaysian to be honest. How do you feel about that?
True but Malaysians are very infectious....well, they must have....
I feel sorry that he is not Malaysian and a bit relieved. Ok no wait I glad he's not malaysian but only lives there. Wait now I feel confused...
hotflow is right, he forgot to tell u to mail ur opponent 50 bucks also.
I think you should write something along the lines of "That's it! I can't go on any longer. goodbye cruel world" then resign and remain inactive on the site for at least a week. Ha Ha!!
I resigned yesterday.....messaged the person, conceded they had the game won, congratulated them, then resigned. Seemed like the polite thing to do.

hahahahaha
hurray for sarcasm *cheers*
Whatever the result of the game, I write "good game" only if it *was* a good game, otherwise I just say "thanks for playing" with the proviso:
when the game ends on a non-timeout and opp has been decently behaved. (otherwise I maintain the stiff upper lip.)

I tip my King to you dear sir.
Gracious and elegant.
Is there a proper way of announcing a resignation ? Do I write in the messages that I wish to resign and then make my move, so that my opponent opens the game when it's flagged that it's their turn - and after they make their move, I resign ?
Not that others are rude, but I don't like to just "disappear" from the game.
What do you think ?
