The Offer Draw

Would it be possible to only allow each user to offer a draw only once or twice per game? It sucks when you're winning a game and they keep offering draws. I almost accepted by accident a few times because they were offering constantly during my turn.

you can offer draw only every 3 turns, maybe I will increase that delay even more

Please don't increase the delay, it makes it very annoying when people accidentally decline draws. Also, if you're winning by enough, they won't have the draw option anymore anyways.

I feel like there should only be one draw offer per player per game. That way one would be forced to make a strategic decision rather than say "i'll use it now and 3 turns later i'll try it again even though he has 4 more territories than I do." I understand it's put in place in lieu of stalemates. If there's really a stalemate between 2 players, there's 2 draw offers available and after they're used it should be up to a players endurance and will to play longer than the other. I think 2 draw offers per person is more than enough OR increase it to every 5 turns, that should be more than enough to eliminate the draw option.

But if someone accidentally rejects a draw offer, that can make a ridiculously annoying delay.

Like you can't wait 5 extra turns in the case of a rare accidental denial? If you know both parties will agree anyway, the extra minutes aren't really relevant.

It is annoying. For one thing, in the case of a three way draw, one person might accidentally deny it, and then the one who did accept it may back out and attack instead.
It is just as likely to accidentally deny as accidentally accept, btw.
A better solution would be to just have some sort of individual preference thing in VW where one option was to automatically deny all draw offers.

I will make something to prevent accidental accepts/denies
