Its generally considered bad form to surrender to someone you're not actively fighting, and IIRC he had tried to make peace so that would count (or did in his mind anyway)

New request for SE5, though: surrender really should have a "no" response.

I assumed that is what would occurred, and have no problem with it. And for the record, it was his taking of a stack of planets that pushed the population over the edge. To attack and take what you want and then say OK I'm done will in no way end a war. He got what he needed at my expence, as was his right. Just as it is my right to say that we were still at war. But there is still the issue of the content of the post that was made upon halting the game. Just working out the issue does not address this. And the reply that I was in “no position to make demands” as regards to my reputation was very foolish. I am still of the opinion that no rule was broken and that the game owner acted in very poor judgment and executed his responsibilities in a reprehensible, lazy fashion. I would have assumed that I would have gotten an email enquiry before he posted. “Surrendered to an empire that was not attacking him”, which was not true. He had attacked and done the harm that broke the camels back. And the editorial “I feel that this would not be fair to continue on” indicates that he decided that it was a cheat with out so much as asking me what was on my mind. I have no idea of what was occurring behind the curtain, but it stinks of “out of game” management.

Also, I think it would be good to discuss gamy moves, and see how people feel about them.
