Outplayed ?  Sheesh.  He might have won the game, but that's not a realistic
way to win it.  Do you think for one  minute that Sauron would think highly
of such an nation "winning" that way ?  Absolutely not.  Heck, the big bad
S himself would probably have visited Umbar itself and leveled that place
after the DS won the game.
Personally, GSI should institute some sort of system in which a neutral
LOSES points for every turn after "x" turn that he remains neutral. The
longer he waits, the greater the point loss per turn, like -100 pts per turn
on Turn 20 on.   This idea was originally suggested by someone else on this
newsgroup (or the Mouth, not sure which) so I'm not taking credit for this
idea.
   I think sitting and waiting for 20+ turns, building your nation is a
*extremely* boring way to spend 6.50/turn  without any battles or good
stuff like that. :D

Back to the wars !
