Some people just whine and whine and whine.
I recall many a game where there was only to be one winner and alliances formed.
I remember a few games where I was in first place until an alliance came along and chopped me down. The alliance continued until game end. Did I bitch? No. I just continued playing and had some fun, even though I was unable to convince other races of the dangers of this alliance early in the game.
I especially recall the series of championship games hosted by StarMaster. Even the final Championship game "Hall of Fame" ended up with two sides playing against each other. Yet, in the end there was but one champion. Did anyone bitch? I don't remember that. We just played until there was a winner.
So based on my expeience in many games of this type over the past several years, I would say it is par for the course, and to call it cheating or a spoiler is ridiculous IMO. Sounds more like losers whining about the likely outcome than any rule violation. If you don't want alliances to form then you should clearly state such in the game rules. Otherwise it has been my experience there will always be alliances to contend with. And I haven't seen many players attacking each other in the end game after they spent most of the game intercolonizing and trading tech, etc., one-winner or not.
So quit your griping and take your lumps as they come. If you can't beat them, join them. Laughing
