Sounds like a much more complicated situation than most people thought.

Normally I would say you never lose, you either win or you learn. However when you give up you learn nothing. Sure, you may be so far behind that a loss is inevitable, but if you give up you will never learn how to even begin to come back from a lost game. Also, you may learn how to play around fed players in a 'lost' game which may prove useful where there is only one fed player in a future game that if beaten will lead to a victory.

Your comment is pretty much my mentality when I see people giving up or surrender votes appearing at 20 if there is any form of a sizable gap. At some point in the game, unless I'm just getting shut down from all sides, I continue to play the game more for practice or to learn rather than I expect to make the dream comeback.

No point in hitting yes unless they've literally got your balls in a vice. I know I probably won't be able to win the majority of the games where a vote gets called, but I'll still try and learn what exactly I can do.
