I know I would hate to be accused of having some sort of "unofficial alliance" just because I have not attacked a neighbor.

Also, if two players do form such an alliance, they can stage mock wars and battles just to keep up appearances of not having an alliance.

You got me to thinking every player puts 30$ in the pot and at the end of the game the Last man standing gets half the pot and PBW gets the other half. That may go a long way toward ending alliances and if it does not then PBW will win and we all win.
