#don't concede

[strixhaven-star]

Having only been playing MTG Arena for less than a month, I really don't understand why people want to concede the match. Some people concede when it's obvious they're going to lose. However, most concede for no reason whatsoever. It's not like they win by doing this. It's like they don't think they can win after only a few turns. I really wish players wouldn't. Just have fun.

Don’t Concede in PvZ Heroes

Ok guys, we all know that moment. The moment when you are playing PvZ Heroes and you know, you know for certain, that you are going to lose. So, what do you do? YOU KEEP PLAYING! And here’s why:

First off, it’s not really in your best interest to concede. If you concede, it will count it as a loss for you, the same as it would if you lose. So, there is no advantage. However, if you don’t concede, there is always a chance that the other person will stop playing or disconnect. I have had several games where I was about to lose and then the other person disconnected. This is not my preferred method of winning, but it can happen and it is in your best interest to continue playing in case this happens.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, it’s incredibly rude to the other player. There are MANY challenges that require you to do 20 damage to the other hero. If a person concedes when you’ve only done 16 damage, the fact that you’ve won does not help you accomplish your challenge. All of us have those 20 damage challenges to complete, so it’s just nicer for everyone if we all just finish out our games and let everyone finish their challenges.

Additionally, and this is less common, you may have a challenge that you’re not really thinking about that you might accomplish if you go ahead and play. Ok, yes, maybe you’re going to lose and you’ve forgotten what your challenges were, but for all you know, one of your challenges might be “play three nuts” and you have one more to play. It might not help you win, but you might accomplish your challenge.

My point is, conceding accomplishes nothing and makes it harder for everyone to complete their challenges. Just finish the game.

I don't understand how there was supposedly historic turnout, Harris' rallies were like that, a bunch of new voters registered after she got the nomination, etc etc but less people voted than in 2020? How does that work

Maybe if enough of us called her campaign (the DNC: 202-863-8000) and the White House (202-456-1111) we could get her to demand a recount.

NOW STOP CONCEDING

Don’t ever feel like you have to apologise for your views of the world. There is not a single person on this godforsaken planet that will see exactly eye to eye with you. There might be people that come pretty damn close. But just because someone has a very strong opinion doesn’t mean you have to agree in full with them. Even if they argue with you until the sun comes up, you will never be able to make them see it your way and they will never be able to make you see it their way. That’s the beauty of having your own mind. You can see the world through your own lense, an entirely different filter if you will. The goal is not to force people to look through your lense, but rather to embrace all filters, and agree to disagree with graciousness when someone else’s filter makes you look bad in the big picture.
