Is there such a system that in case of a stalemate and the game has gone long enough to end the game with neither side claiming victory?

How would it affect elo compared to a exit vote?

I had forgotten about the "exit vote" and I did not consider ELO. Anyway I got the impression that the "exit vote" is more of a utility like for when a player disconnects at the start, otherwise it is used when something has gone wrong. Having a "stalemate" or "draw" vote would give the impression that it is for when both sides are at an impasse and want to move along. I do say it is better than one side having one side resign (think I have seen it before) and looking like they are just "giving up" when technically they still have a lot of fight in them. I do not have an answer for the ELO, that is something I have paid little attention to myself. I do play for fun and my attitude is "play, fight, win!"

P.S. If somebody is feeling humorous or downright cheeky, it could be called the "peace treaty" vote!

Exit vote is the de facto truce vote. We don't need another way of doing the same thing.

Yeah !exit can be used to agree to a draw; it famously was used as such in Battle 1772811 after multiple Starlights failed to end the game, resulting in Ice Scream being removed from the featured map pool.

from memory there is a way to add a reason to a vote.. i know you can with kick.. you could add "call it a draw" to the reason

Ok I'm convinced. Being able to add a "reason" to the "!exit" vote makes it versatile.
How is adding a "reason" to "exit" applied?

So something like:
!poll exit this is a Stalemate
-> Do you want to exit the game because this is a stalemate? (!y/!n)

Problem is most those blue+ elo players who fight till the last solar are never going to vote on that because it would mean the time invested so far is for naught. They dont care about the game experience. For them getting shred/shot to pieces is fine/fun as long as they still have 1 Solar left. Who needs other flanks/fronts or a backline anyways? :D

I support the thing about adding a "reson" text variable to !poll commands and a change the prompt text like "Do you want to draw the game?". Everything else of this thread seems to me like a case for the graveyard.

Rename the "exit" vote to a "draw" vote, or make the word more clear with its meaning.

here you go cliver5

!poll exit everyone agrees to call it a draw

-> Do you want to exit the game because everyone agrees to call it a draw? (!y/!n)

result: draw
