Commander Discussion / Re: Thoughts on forfeiting in response

I don't find it so rude to "concede in response"... I mean, most of the time, when my opponents (or I) concede this way, this is because it already feels like you have no escape since 8 turns ago and you're just waiting for death so that you can have another game. To me, the most irritating thing in this particular kind of situation is not that the looser denies the mega-win combo, it's that the winner has this attitude like : "Hey ! look how much I'm able to destroy you by gaining infinite life and make you loose by an infinite channel fireball in your face" even when the loosers has 2 HP and could be beat with a regularly mana paid fireball. Like... Ok, we get it this combo is cool, but was it really necessary to show off ? Leave some dignity to your opponent... In my opinion, it's much more pleasant to loose facing an opponent with humility. Magic is much funnier when the victory is uncertain until the last moment !
Tough, if there has been a real fight for the win and the combo gets off as a deus ex machina twist of situation and the looser surrenders just because he doesn't like that... Well, yeah, not fun, it was a good game, well fought, you lost in honor so let them combo out.
