But since your self-interest was for the alliance to win, not for yourself to end up relatively strong, that didn't work for me. Well, that and you held up way better than I expected.

Actually that's not 100% true. I only contacted him about the "ends when we are done with Caelum" part of the alliance very close to the end, mostly because the game was turning quite stale (at least for me ;p) and I didn't wanna go through another war again. I just wanted to end it, and since we had made that deal with Abysia long ago when he was in dire straits...
I like to think the way he acted was more related to how you killed Ermor (his ally) and then I helped him survive the war with Ulm. That made us a lot more inclined to help each other than you, methinks.
EDIT:
As for allied victories, they are always "allowed", just that some people really dislike them while others (like me) really don't care. I don't really care about playing this game very "competitively" like some others - I don't find that fun at all. Big wars between undefined multiple nations and uncertainty of victory/defeat is where I get my kicks from (and stress). I'm a fan of alliances because it makes the endgame far less tedious by removing that awkward phase where you have to fight your former allies, and it gives a certain clarity.
