Ymir in Re: I am leaving this game.:

but in this case we are only boxing sparrings. They are not playing to end at first position! They are playing to destroy few races that they realize too late what is happening.

... in the silent backyard....

Directly to the point.

Sorry Streu, at the moment I don't see an ease comming to the feelings around. Leaving the games is meanwhile the only answer to the poison (chain alliances) that came to the running games.

Some benefits ingame are without compare - like (Tachyon device, webmines, refit and gravitonic) and when most of them become accumulated in only a few hands and this happens in right a couple of games in a row, the refusal to continue playing is the only option we players have to call attention to the grievances.

Well, you've been the Klingon with Gravitonics and Webmines as well, and the complaint I got by PM read alike: "why are you playing unfair by giving them Webs?" There is some point where "well-played diplomacy" turns into "frustrating wall of allies", and that point seems to be a little different for everyone. But a predetermined alliance surely is over the line.

But that all will not change the past. I'll prepare a no-allies game and we'll see how that turns out. (Anonymous no-communication games will take a little longer.)
