You expect me to do more for people in Beyond, then they are willing to do for me, or even themselves.

Had I fought Pythium one-on-one, I would have been decimated very quickly, and Pythium would have double his own gem income with something like 8 capitals under his belt, not to mention the fact that my territory was growth 3.

Like I said in my original post, if I fell, everyone else was going to lose. There's no difference between me going AI, and condemning everyone else, and me not going AI and losing a protracted fight to him one-on-one where he /still wins/. In either case, the net result is that Pythium wins the game. You might be able not see that, but I don't really care, you were never part of the game, and nobody else raised any objections when I said I was going to go AI. You're also not as experienced, nor did you see the individual battles.

Your conclusions are based on only two games, where I happened to go AI with very good reason. If you even bothered to look at other games I've played in, and I've told you where to do so, you'd have a very different opinion, but really, feel free to wallow in your own ignorance since you so clearly enjoy doing so. I bet you think that if you flip a coin once, and it comes up heads, it must /ALWAYS/ come up heads.
