Default Re: is feeding acceptable or not

if you are the true pretender (which in playing the game you say you are) then why not 'spite' them yourself? If you give up and give stuff away to someone else, your only admitting you were a cop out from the start. Never good enough to be god, someone else had to do it for you. What real pretender is going to say that?

additionally, any dominion not your dominion is enemy dominion. you can only possibly give stuff to an enemy. no matter who you give stuff to, it is helping to spread a faith not your own. what true pretender would stand for that? You are here to spread your faith and to become god! not whimper out and roll your stuff over to someone else.

If you truly want to spite them you'll both go down fighting and give all your assets away as you die. At a certain point in a losing war assets will be rendered obsolete or pretty much useless, like earth gems when you can't get any more earth mages. Alchemetizing them away into gold or something else dilutes their potency and depending on the nature of the war being fought might do very little to harm your opponent, whereas they might possibly help someone else immensely.

I view it as perfectly thematic to try and do maximum damage to the person killing you, through whatever legal game mechanics are available. Why not reward the neighbor that kept his word in the process?

Remember that you aren't actually a god, you are just a bored Lich with nothing better left to do than try and take over the world.

I voted "yes" simply because I don't like gems going to waste.
