Re: Pantheons - an experiment in metagaming.
Im not completely sure how that would be different than many games that already get played. In many of the larger longer-running games the winner has been an alliance group. Altho that has irritated some people who try to say that the game isnt supposed to be played that way, its never bothered me. I tend to treat my alliances more honorably than some. Coming to the point of "now we must fight each other" and declaring the game done instead sits well with me.
But, I have always been in favor of making things clear at the start of a game. Some people would join, and others not, if that was mentioned at the start. Declaring that it is acceptable for a Pantheon Win as part of the games conception might help to smooth things later.
