As for you quitting... It'd work for me quite well. I think this game has gone past its expiration date.
You realize you're changing the terms of the game? It wasn't team victories! That was part of our reasoning in attacking Abyssia--we saw that it was not in your interest to help Abyssia and didn't expect to be facing your combined armies.

Nope, we didn't change the terms of the game. Nothing in said terms said that allied victories were prohibited. And you were wrong if you expected that I would let Abysia die to your alliance. How stupid did you think I am? Had Abysia died, I would've been isolated and pretty much alone against FOUR hostile nations and would've lost any chance to win (or even help someone else to win). Yes, that's your alliance and Ulm.

Sure, we had a much looser alliance in place before the war with you, but your massive war forced it to turn into a much deeper one. I had to be sure that if I sacrificed my growth and helped Abysia with remote spells as much as I could, it wouldn't end up biting me in the *** in the form of Abysia doublecrossing me. And the same of course goes for Abysia - he had to make sure that I wouldn't start using my stuff against him.

At the moment, however, the game's not even fun to play anymore and I'd be willing to just call it a draw between me, Abysia and Pangaea anyways if they felt inclined to even if the "to the end" alliance was not in place. Since, all in all, the effects of the alliance is just that - it's a draw between 3 nations once Caelum is either destroyed or leaves the scene.

EDIT:

Just started thinking... Would you have been happier if I had lied about it and claimed that us three had come to an agreement that we'll call the game a draw after Caelum's dead? Since effectively the alliance has the very same end result, and I would have asked them about a possibility for draw even without the alliance. ;p
