Stop Mid-Turn Concedes . Only Allow Concede on Your Turn
Suggestion: Only Allow Concede During Your Own Turn
I’d like to suggest limiting the Concede action so it can only be used during the player’s own turn.
Right now, opponents can concede instantly during your turn, which cuts off your gameplay mid-action. It’s abrupt, disruptive, and honestly feels disrespectful. A player shouldn’t be able to stop someone else from taking their turn just because they don’t like what’s happening on the board. If someone wants to concede, that’s completely fine, they can do so when their turn begins.
This change would also reduce emotional, rage-quit style instant concedes. Adding a small timing buffer encourages calmer decisions and results in a more positive player experience overall.
There’s no functional need for mid-turn concessions, because the existing rope/timeout system already handles AFK or inactive players. So this change has no gameplay downside.
Restricting Concede to a player’s own turn would improve fairness, respect between players, and the overall flow of a match, while requiring only a small UI/logic update.
Thank you for considering it.

And no player should be able to keep another player from conceeding. There are so many peopple who cannot play at a decent pace, that I simply what to quit and play against someone else. And you want to make me wait out yet another slomo turn. Unless you can make people not play at a glacial pace, your proposal is nonsensical.
Instant concededes are not the problem, it's the ropers and the wannabe tournament players, that cannot even decide on what land to play. You also would make people wait out a combo, and make the combo player go though all the motions until tthey win.
