people holding up the infinity ladder ,continue moving when theyve already lost

just resign already. What are you doing? Especially when you're playing the top guy/girl ( I wonder are there any girls playing)
same goes for people who stop moving.

eh, I'm not a big fan of the "I'm winning, gtfo!". Perhaps I'm scarred from my League of Legends days. Then again, I'm not a "top guy/girl".

As a weak/improving player myself, I often learn a lot from watching how exactly people convert a won game against me. Defeats can be very instructive from a "learning the technique" point of view.

just a pet peeve. I resign as soon as a win is not possible anymore and so should everyone else. LOL, just kidding

and now the hippolyta bot is inactive and 2 other players are soooo slow and strange world hopper has gone inactive. If he or she really is in the vatican the anti-pope probably forced that poison jab on him and he's croaked. Should I edit this? nahhh

I never resign.

But I play fast when everything is clear!

Like scottsitar said, there's a lot to be learned from a lost position. Conversely, people don't always know how to convert a winning position. Playing on helps both.

Some people might just like the satisfaction of playing a game to its conclusion, or they might not even recognize a winning position. I figure people who don't understand a lost position are at least as deserving of patience as people who don't understand immunology.

I suggest Dissolving Illusions and The Moth in The Iron Lung for starters
then the official VAERS data as a follow up

The best attitude to get people to play the game you presumably enjoy...

If I can still make a mistake in the endgame, I don't mind if somebody keeps playing for the win (even if its very unlikely). However when all of the territories are determined and the amazons can't interact with each other anymore then I think it is pointless to play until completion. There isn't anything to learn for the winner or the loser at this stage of the game.

Would you say that an absolute beginner could conceivably make the mistake of filling in their territory incorrectly?

I vote for freedom to play any number of moves you like when you like no matter the result
