I concur with the above.

The 1st place race *won* by means other than military predominance. It could be economic dependence, political supremacy, or other means by which his government has effectively subdued the lesser empire to his will.

Errrr. No. The game was specified as a "Last Man Standing" game, not a "One winner" game. Reread the first post, there was an addendum.

A "One winner" rule, IMO, implies that only one player will be elected victor, through whatever means necessary. So, yes, if that were the case, then the last 2 posts would be correct.

A "Last Man Standing" game implies just that. No one, other than the winner, is left standing. All other races have either stopped submitting, or have conceded through loss of planets and fleets. Having a game long ally concede victory doesn't sound right for that situation, nor do gaining advantages inherent of such a relationship.

Of course this is all a question of semantics, and the definitions are strictly my opinion. It is up to the *host* of this game to clarify this situation for the players. It is up to the *players* to abide by the hosts clarification of those rules. If the host isn't interested in interpeting and enforcing his own rules, then he should not have hosted the game.
