The point is it's a list that game owners can choose from. They probably wouldn't ban all of these separatly or they would just say no surender. But they might want one or a couple not allowed but the others to be allowed.

All four of those forms of surrendering are completely different uses of the surrender option.

(I think this is significantly differant from 9.)

I wonder if this list might be simpler if the things the game allowed you to ban were left out? or perhaps in a separate list. I mean if the host intentionally left certain options on they really can't be considered gamey for that game.

Turtling yourself into a corner. (Using Warp closers and system shields)

Declearing war on an ally and attacking at the same turn.

I don't. As I said previously, just allowing the Surrender option to be enabled DOES NOT mean that every possible use of it is to be considered allowed. You could leave it on for the purpose of allowing a defeated empire to surrender, but still not want merging empires to be allowed.
