Default Re: is feeding acceptable or not

Revenge is for me thematic, and I see no problem to justify it in a roleplayer perspective.

If my pretender is losing and must renounce to his hopes to become a god, he don't want to offer this power to his ennemies. Prefering to help the ascension of a friend (or even any other pretender than the one destroying him) is logical. If he can't be god himself, he wants to be the god-maker, it's the last expression from his ambition.

You could also bribe the next pretender so he doesn't kill you outright when he ascends. I certainly understand that someone would rather serve than die.

I don't think it's fair to demand that people play the way you want them to either. I know that it can be annoying when someone goes AI but in the end this is a game and if they aren't enjoying it they should stop. It would be better if they found a sub or were more polite about it, but you have to understand that most people don't care about what is perceived as 'honourable' by a few.

I wouldn't give my stuff away when dying unless part of an alliance that had been declared to everyone (not some secret NAP 3 or something). In that case you should expect resources to be shared.
