Default Re: Loosing on purpose: morally justifiable?

When you have a dominating position, it is time for some of the following:
- Multiple opponents to ally against you
- Throw in the force quickly, and enjoy the bloody combat replay. If your forces manage to avoid Murphy's Laws of Combat, the outcome is decided, and its time to start a new game.
- Roleplay a bit more while pushing ahead and trying new tactics just to see how they work. (You'll slow down, but almost certainly still win)
If the opponent enjoys the valorous defense, they'll be happy to continue. If not, start a new game.


*** Note ***
It should definitely be stressed that "no longer fun" is an implied 'victory condition', and should mark the end of the game just as definitively as "last man standing"

If holding back triggers the "no longer fun" condition, its over.
If not holding back triggers it, its over.

The details of when this applies depends on the Psychology of the players involved.
