Scorched earth

One can certainly make mistakes, take risks, etc.
It's a question of intent. Judge for yourself. I'm not advocating rules that someone should enforce.
It seems to me you're quibbling here.

I don't mean to quibble, just trying to find out what those opposed to scorched earth want the defeated player to do with his assets.

Self-destruct on first contact is a bit different that what the OP was talking about--sorry if I confused the issues.

Well, it was an extreme example to counter your "Almost any action a player takes has the potential to hasten his defeat." argument.

It did actually happen, though.

Don't self destruct on first contact.

This sounds more of a problem due to him just giving up far too soon and not attempting any method, including the ones you listed, to survive. I doubt the other players enjoyed seeing him give up so soon either, especially next to your giants.

Oh yeah, belated thanks foodstamp for the happy 777 xD.
