Slynky's Demise

Lord Chane, how would a game of Space Empires ever end if your black/white morals of "once ally - forever ally" would be applied by everyone?

Even if you do not seem to be able to separate it, it is a game and not reality. I do not like having to agree to Tesco, but I too think it is important to separate game and life. And yes, kill me for it, I am playing games to win, even if I also have fun if I do not win in the end. That's the nature of a game.

I would never directly lie and deceive, but if it becomes obvious that the game is nearing a point where it is you or me, I will choose me and even attack first instead of waiting for your attack - or waiting for the game to end by the natural death of all players, as you seem to prefer?

This is of course different if team victory is possible, there just is no reason to become a sole winner then and attack an ally if he is not directly keeping you from winning. I'm refering to "Last man standing" games, and these include "all others down" when they finally end, and someone has to bring them down for the game to end.
