Dumbluck, as I said I really don't think it is likely to come up, but if it does I am going to come down hard on the player doing the closing, not the one being closed off. That's not a valid method for eliminating someone in my book.

Seems its my day to disagree with Geo.

I think this is a perfectly legitimate tactic. If anyone can afford the resources to close down the necessary 23 warp points in my gargantuan empire, they are welcome to try. But I would be utterly astounded if the game went on long enough for any one to try this tactic. If you are so rich and powerful you can afford to build these closers, how did you manage to NOT eliminate anyone?

Instead I would suggest that when, say, 6 or fewer players are left, the lost contact rule should no longer apply.
