I'm likely not the biggest target of his aggression. Still, from my estimation, so long as my interest holds, I can remain in this game for another 50 to 70 turns even while losing badly the whole way.

If you want to declare Acro the winner by virtue of being able to win against the world, I refuse to see your view realistic. If you want to declare Acro winner by virtue of being king of the hill in the very late-game while interest apparently wains, then I can agree to that.

The real question is not, has Acro already won? The question is, do you want this game to end?

There is no shame in wanting to move on.

Strategically, it doesn't make much sense for me to attack you AOE. You literally wrote the book on defensive warfare with LA man, so I'm using just enough force to keep you at bay so I can focus on other fronts.
