Pledged.

A list of those who pledged in the initial post may be useful for admins of games that want to make this a requirement to joining.

Why would anyone make this silly pledge a requirement?
Most players hope their enemy turns AI when they hit him fast and hard anyway...

Heh, I was also wondering...

What an Interesting thought. So, if you have reputation of the person who fights till end you will hardly be selected as a first target. But if everyone knows you tend to go AI after first battle you've lost, you are sweet target.

Well, both true and not true.
Vets and newb or quitters get attacked just as much. A vet will be attacked before he can became a real danger and a newb will be attacked for being an easy target, so it's really the same, well except that vets tend to get ganged up so the newbs have a advantage in fair battle there don't they?

And anyway, you ought to attack a nation that is geographically suitable, or easier to defeat, like Mictlan attacking Neif, etc... and not the player behind the nation, just my thoughts doe...

I've been in way too many games where very viable positions are abandoned when the pressure is put on. For me at least it destroys a lot of the enjoyment of the game if the winner is determined because somebody's early neighbor quit when his pretender died or he just got frustrated by a stalemate or he just got bored. Have this happen 3 or 4 times in a game and it starts feeling like we're playing a game primarily of chance which I don't personally find that interesting.
