Hi!
Game AtSR2, announced at http://starsautohost.org/sahforum2/index.php?t=msg&th=54 94&start=0&rid=239&S=fe3078e8f5946dd3c32691b26de 68b0c ended ahead of time due to huge lead of Rising Force, the WM race played by Hank.
Game should proclaim a winner at turn 100, but as a host I had access to all game files and have seen the WM race has at turn 80 already taken about a third of a medium universe, clearly running way ahead of other players (had nearly as much resources as the rest of players together). Only one of remaining three players was actively fighting him, the second one was in war with the third one and not able to really fight him and the third one was not the WM's neighbour. Seeing that situation, and since this was a no-com game, so no possibility to organize aliance against him, it became clear to me no one can really stop WM to achieve victory conditions at turn 100.
Based on this I decided to make huge lead of WM known to other players. In retrospect I see I should have done this in a more subtle way, than my "matter-of-fact" message I've sent to them was. This has made game to end in a rather clumsy way, for which I as host appologize. 
Nevertheless, I should congratulate remaining players for the dedication they showed - game never slowed down from 26 hours per turn. Kudos also to Hank, that made his WM race a real monster, effectively removing from the game 3 out of 4 "dead" players. 
I'd also like to invite all players to share their thoughts and experiences with this game with our community. WRT the large discussion that followed my clumsy "the-end-is-near" message, there should be quite some ideas to share.
BR, Iztok
