Dominion General Discussion / Scenarios where one could reasonably say they've already lost?

In a 2p game, one player could forfeit, but that's trickier in a 3p+, unless all but one player concedes. Situations where due to luck, or opening the wrong way.. there's a "99% chance" that you lost, and are going through the motions at that point. Yes, miracles can happen, but I'm more concerned with situations where you're proverbially "backed into corner" (or backed yourself into one).
- Sea Hag "arms race"
your opponent manages to force discard your own Sea Hag with theirs (although some say you can recover from 1. However, NOT 2) - Others get Chapel and you don't
Where others opened Chapel and you didn't. Much more pronounced when things were just base game 1E. Games back then were roughly divided into "Chapel games" vs. "no Chapel games". Expansions, and even just base game 2E provided more variety so at least there were more ways to combat this - They buy out all or most of a pile that synergizes well with itself
Examples include but not limited to Laboratory, and Minion - You buy one or more Scouts :p
