Advanced Resigning
At the moment you resign that's that, i suggest some options are made available to the departing player:
1) This race is still playable - but I can't anymore (open)
2) This race is unplayable - I surrender it (dead)
3) I have a replacement player (enter name here)
Player "name here" gets an email with a link to confirm that he wants to take over, if not clicked by next host (or 24h which ever is longest) then race goes to open.

Item 2 of this suggestion is no longer needed. FoF takes care of this event.
Item 3 could be used to reduce or eliminate a Tenacity penalty for Resignation.

how about a percentage of 10 % If your race is below 10% and you resign your race is marked dead. That way either the original player finished or not. No more of this mutiple players using a near death race just to attack with.
