Before coming to another ethical topic I wanted to mention that I do in general _not_ like backstabbing and try to avoid it wherever I can. I would like to say I never backstabbed, but there have been situatuions in which it was not entirely clear who broke the traety first... I would of course say it werer the others, but well... Rolling Eyes

So... backstabbing can in general be considered unfair. But it rarely happens IMO. Something happening much more offen which annoys me a lot more is formation of large alliances quite early that fight all others who have no chance to defend themselves whatever they try. These alliances are formed, they attack everyone else, and after that they dont start fighting each other and just quit the game - and they do it also if it is a "last man standing" game.

Or some minor race helps the rank1 race without reason and makes it the winner, not caring for his own position, and the one wins because of this support, and others who play much better are defeated.

I hate this Evil or Very Mad

You can of course say it is the fault of the others cause they could form an alliance to fight the alliance. But then I would not be much better than them and the overall situation would suffer cause it is like accepting it as normal - and it is not.

I personally try to have no more than 1-2 close allies, and if it is said last-man-standing I always include exic clauses in any form of pact, but in several games I was in people just give a sh** on such winning conditions and I just dont like that...

Any comments? I am the only one feeling like this?
Any suggestions what could be done about it?
