I suppose that if you ask 5 players you will receive 5 different opinions. Therefore I suggest that it should be Stefan to determine the rules for diplomatic games (Titan, Pleiades and Phoenix series. What about the FLAK series?), i.e. maximum number of players per alliance, bilateral or multilateral alliances, ... anything else I miss?

If you want a "maximum number of alliances" add-on (such as POneAlly, CMLimit) we can give that a try. Otherwise, alliances are not limited.

However, only one player can win. In that case, it doesn't matter how many allies they had. I had hoped that this at least provides an incentive to not make your alliances too big - at one point, you need to break them.

One generic, meta-rule to keep in mind, however: this is a game. It is supposed to be fun. Now it seems someone doesn't perceive it as fun. I am not tracking who is accusing whom of what, but it's not the first time. I would therefore asking everyone: if your playing style is perceived as not-fun, maybe tone down a little bit. Because if it's not fun for them, they will leave, and then it won't be fun for anyone of us again ever.
