"I see people who don't surrender as an honorable opponent;" Is it punishable?
I have a tendency to outright state in chat "I see people who don't surrender as an honorable opponent. Plus, you always have a chance to turn it around." and it, on top of reducing the amount of flame I see in /all, it reduces the number of forfeits too.
Is it a punishable "offense" for me to be doing this, for me to honor people who live up to my standards of what an honorable opponent is?
AFAIK it isn't trading honor. It's a grey line. I give them honor, and publicly state that I will, in return for a better game experience for me (and I assume them, since there never seems to be any flame win or lose) and my team.
