i think the victory conditions have helped create a rather stagnant political front. Good has managed to push back aby, but of course can not really go much forward, w/out being crushed for their impertinance. Meanwhile, the neutrals just sit and watch.

I would propose making this a 5 way contest. good vs evil (ie. baalz) vs each of the neutrals. this wouldn't be at all fair if Good were the pre-eminent power, but it clearly is nowhere near so being. This should also give Baalz some hope, as it is no longer just good vs. evil, but now a more fluid diplomatic situation.

I should say that technically this is a harder victory condition for Good, as Good would have to defeat everyone, not just Evil. However, in reality, I think it would take us out of a potential impasse.
