Hiya

The original decision was that alliance winners would receive points based
on the ratios of their respective total current industry
e.g. if there were 20 people at the start of the game, this allows 20
points to be given to the winner(s)
An alliance of Joe, Bill and Harriet win the game
   Joe finishes with 5000 industry
   Bill finishes with 3000 industry
   Harriet finishes with 2000 industry
gives a total of 10,000 industry
So Joe gets 5000/10,000 x 20 points = 0.5 x 20 = 10 pts
   Bill gets 3000/10,000 x 20 points = 0.3 x 20 = 6 pts
   Harriet gets 2000/10,000 x 20 points = 0.2 x 20 = 4 pts

This allows those that put the most into the alliance to get results based
on their input

Feel free to change it if you want, or just disallow alliances so the
problem doesn't arise in the future.

and thanks again
