8) No restriction on nations, strategies, tactics, diplomacy, whatever.

You have a goal: score points by having your victim(s) being ousted from the game. Use whatever means you'll find appropriate to fulfill that goal.

(Except means such as the physical elimination of the player controlling that nation, OFC. These rules aren't applicable outside of the game limits! )
