[archaeolept]

in terms of power it goes like this: shinu, r'lyeh, pan, aby, ulm or pyth, eriu, arcos.

Shinu has done the best of the neutrals, Aby of Evil, Ulm of Good (as pyth's power is in large part due to Ulm).

They're experimental victory conditions in an experimental game. Don't obsess. Either play it out, or say it was fun and end it - and critique the format in order to better prepare any eventual successor.

If R'lyeh and Pan join up, they might have a chance against Shinuyama; esp. if they can get some outside support.
