Cancel Ally Request

[brazen kiln]

Suggestion: add a button to cancel an ally request since there is no option for it now. This can be abused in fog of war by the enemy if you requested an alliance in the beginning of the game.

That's a good idea. Feel free to post it in #risk_ideas using the +suggest or /suggest command in #nr_bot_commands

You Can use the button; break alliance

Only if they accepted the request, if the request is just sitting there you can't remove it and they'll be able to accept whenever strategically advantageous to themselves. I suggested this almost a month ago as well, hopefully they'll implement this

I've seen a dislike button from a SMG-staff member in the #risk_ideas

Yeah I guess Luci isn't a fan of this idea, idk why, I thought it was a really good suggestion and super easy to implement as well

@brazen kiln @oblique vortex I dislike it because it still keeps the fundamentally flawed "permanently sent request" - I'm preferential towards a 30s grace period to accept or it is rejected automatically, simpler to understand and can easily report & block anyone that spams it

Worth noting that my votes are purely personal perspective - based on whether I think it is worth the development time, whether it's a great feature to implement, and whether it fixes root issues - this one doesn't fix the root issue imo

Added to that, if someone forgets to cancel - then someone abuses it - it's our fault for supporting it lasting forever, so not very user-friendly

I think a grace period and automatic cancellation after 30s will be great as well.

Maybe it’s an even better addition

Cancel isn't a bad suggestion (so my negative shouldn't be seen as "this sucks") I just don't think it's optimal solution 👍

Maybe a longer period of time as players could be sent this request during their turn and in the middle of a series of attacks with camera animations on.
