In the Universe Cup discussion, it was brought up that the game may consider an empire still to exist, even if all it has is a mine hiding somewhere...
Hmmm...I naively thought an empire was marked dead when their ships and planets were destroyed. I suppose we better call it over the turn an empire owns no more colonies so it does not turn into a frustrating hunt for the Last mine. Of course, there is no way to determine this when we cannot see each others scores...Any ideas?

Edit: Oh, and are planet gifts going to be allowed, so if race Z is about to bite it, other players can donate more planets to them?
I put it to the vote in the game forum...
