Sorry to intrude on your game, but I would say that if someone quits while anyone else is still playing, they forfeit any position they might have.

The only way someone is declared winner, or 2nd place, or whatever, is if everyone still left in the game agrees.

Although because this is my first game i am loathe to end it, I think I can agree than Vanheim takes 1st and TienChi second.

This game has gone on for a long time and I think it is past the point of being relevent. If it were based on VPs, the 2 leaders would gobble up the smaller nations left and try to get them quicker, but with no VPs, its a slow grind to the end.

I am all for ending it. (I will except last place of the remaining players )

I'd say its up to Tien Chi and Vanheim. If they both agree to #2 and #1 respectively, then game over. I doubt any of the other nations are in a position to refute such a declaration.

I AM! ok, maybe not.....

Ok, if we are just declaring it, I declare i am grand winner.

Noone gets to arbitrairly say they are #2 or #1 or # anything. Especially when quitting the game.

For a player to quit when they think they are losing and say lets the end the game NOW and determine who won by how powerful we are now at this point THEY decide , which happens ot be just before they get crushed is really lame.

Not saying it was not a fun game and everyone did well and all. Tien Chi certainly covered themselves in glory in this game. I just got a serious problem with someone quiting just before they see defeat and saying lets tally up player positions NOW.

I look ending of Dominions as a game from two different perspectives.

---

First point of view, (Dominions as a game that ends before all is settled)

It's 74th turn and I understand how Tien Chi's battle morale drops very dramatically by the sudden downfall (2-3 last turns) of their empire that has been ruling the province charts pretty much for most of the game. But as Franktrollman has cited Sun Tsu already he might be aware of the thing that the morale of combatants is the very key in winning (anyone).

I think that battles are really not won by fleeing and thus the fleeing participiant cannot declare they have won any of those who stayed on the field.
You all might remember this basic rule from the boardgames of old, like the Monopoly and such. We were all children and during that period we learned a lot of which we so very often seem to have forgotten a lot too.

---

Second point of view, (Dominions as a game in where there cannot be more than the one)

Ascending to the goodhood might be possible for only one of the pretenders?

---


I feel that one of the players cannot whistle the game over now - when he's morale drops and he finds out that there is an another (vastly more important life - i admit) and he "has to go".

I feel that both Kydorias of the C'tis and Xox of the Maverni are both in rather strong postion to dispute over the claim of Tien Chi beating them.
Hell, They even might be in a position to question my win! This should happen if we look at the game of Dominions in the sense that only one of the pretenders could ascend.
If they would like to try i would be happy to learn and teach a bit from them.

If we continue i would like to see our generous host relaxing the the Proze� -time of the turns.

They may refute the declaration on the field of battle. If their opponents have quit, they win by default. Pretty simple.
