"Not convinced how this would work within the game system. If the Dark
Servants are wiped out by the Free PEople's (or vice versa) then, as I
understand it, the software will inist that the game has ended,
regardlerss of what the 'neutral' player may or may not do. "

That ain't a problem, really. All five players would know the conditions up
front. It might even encourage the neutral player to play both ends against
the middle, as it were. You would keep one nation neutral till as late as
possible, and watch which nations are top. Then you go in and blast them,
regardless of their FP/DS standing. You keep doing that until at least two
of the top nations are yours. Then you go for the kill.

A "neutral" victory.
