We have a situation in a current game whereby the top two races are allied and have no intention of attacking each other. Shocked

Alliances are allowed but it's a "one winner only" game (refer last paragraph of this posting) and I'd be interested to know if other players have experienced this situation before.

The races are saying that they've been allied from the start and shared tech, ship designs, fully intercolonised, etc. and therefore have built a good relationship and are unable to war with each other.
The second placed player realises by taking this course of action that he can't win unless his economy is improved substantially or the #1 player takes a bit of a beating from the rest of the universe, but says that he's happy to be part of the leading alliance. Confused

They also state that they probably wouldn't be in the #1 and #2 positions if they hadn't assisted each other to such a degree, which may well be true. Trophy

It seems their intention is to wait until a vote is called or wipe out the rest of the races until it's only them left, but even then to not go to war with each other. Cheers

If you could vote and give feedback that would great.
I'd like to hear both perspectives, so feel free to share your opinions. Yes

Update: One of the players pointed out that my wording wasn't quite correct and rather than calling it a "One winner game", I should have said "Last man standing game".
Seems the same to me (perhaps a subtle difference), but has been included for arguments sake Smile
