THIS has been my experience exactly:

What if they are not going for a shared victory? Perhaps one race is happy to let the other player win.

I have been in a game where a large alliance walked away with the victory rather unchallenged. This was in a One Winner game - a fact that was reminded to everyone a number of times through out the game, however the races (and there were a lot of them) that were sided with the current leader were unwilling to break their long term friendship in order to bring down the leader. They were happy just ending the game knowing they didn't break their alliance and didn't get wiped out of the universe, even though the didn't win.

It was exceptionally frustrating for me, because I was in close second place with the winner, but he had about four or five STRONG allies, and I had one. None of his allies would turn against him, so he was declared the winner.

I can (sort of) see their side of things. It can be hard to turn against a loyal friend. However, I always go into the game with the intention of WINNING (not riding out on someone else's coattails), so for me the changing of alliances is always in my plan. If you don't plan for that eventuality, it can be difficult to make happen (as in, you'd rather just end the game than try and reform your empire against a longterm friend).

A few more of my random thoughts,
Dan
