| Effects of a player's reputation on diplomacy and survival chances... |

I've noticed that in the last few games I've played in, I've been pretty much digpiled on from the very beginning. If I'm playing a quick-start aggressive race, I can usually handle this, but after two games as AR being essentially defeated before 2430, I'm wondering how much of this is because people just want me out of the game. I'm even beginning to wonder if there's much purpose to playing Stars! at all anymore, if other players are unable to make a distinction between my race in the game and me personally there's no reason to even try to play.
The next games I play, I'll be joining under a pseudonym, just to see whether the experience will be different and how much of my diplomacy failure is because players fear me when I have a strong early-game race or just want to crush me out of spite when I don't, or think for some reason that I've more or less regressed and become a much worse player than I used to be (maybe I have - I can't devote the same level of single-minded attention anymore, but then again I've been playing AR in close quarters).
What do you all think? Do you feel that other players treat you a certain way in the game because of who you are or the skill level or general strategy or aggressiveness level you're perceived to have?
