Rules-Conduct-Playing to win-and Gamy moves?

[primitive]

As the player who got the surrender and requested the roll back i guess I have to make some comments.

I do roleplay my race. The Taolosian fight for honor and sport and I try to do everything in character. During the whole "war" I took 1 planet and did not destroy a single ship. There are no way the Taolosians would have accepted a surrender after such a minor skirmish. I do want to win the game, but I also want to do it a manner I can be proud of. You dropping 10+ systems in my lap would make the game less enjoyable for me, so I asked the remaining players if we could roll back the turn and mark your empire dead instead.

I would urge anybody leaving a game to consider how their leaving could make the game fairer and more fun for the remaining players, not the opposite.
