Sorry, but this sounds like foul excuses. And - no you DO ally so fast, that it doesn't matter, if it is turn 1 or 5. And your mates are always the same guys.

You and your mates disbalance the game, while the exploration and early phase of game. That is the true and only fact. It is in Pleiades 9, 10, Phoenix 4 Minimum as far as I may observe it maybe more.

And finally you are wrong. The spirit of the game is the competetive character, which you pervert with your extreme hull and ability exchange.

Calm down a little, please (both of you).

I also got PM complaints about being in an unfair huge alliance in Pleiades 7 citing singular scans as evidence for an alliance (outpost in lizard land? must be allied.) -- from one of the guys who is in the huge alliance that is currently stripping my pants. In any case, Pleiades 7 was quite a different experience than previous games for me.

The message I heard is that some of you want a no-alliance game. I will do that. Give me a few days to propose a setup. And then let's see how it turns out.

But in any case, please everyone remember that it's not just 10 players that play to entertain you, it's also you helping entertain 10 others. Dropping if the game isn't perfect and effortless always makes you a spoilsport of sorts, but so is repeatedly making identical unbeatable alliances to drive out others.
