The reason I mention this is because I have seen it happen and that situation gets old fairly quick for the higher rated player. OTOH oh well thats the way the Space Empire crumbles.

Just an observation
It's a good observation. I would hope it wouldn't happen like that and that positioning in the game would be what dictated what players did. Certainly, if the 2 highest rated players in the game are across the map from each other, it's difficult for them to gang up on, say, you if you are beside one of them.

Also, notice that I mentioned (well, if I didn't mention it, I meant to... ) the best situation to play a rated game under was one-on-one. But, I didn't want to prohibit multi-player games. One must make the decision about whether to have a multi-player game count toward one's rating when one enters such a game. So, playing a rated game is entirely up to each person.

Thanks for mentioning it, however.
