I have to share Thomas' sentiments. People give up too early I find.
At the risk of sounding slightly hypocritical, I agree - in general
terms. t dependson what basis you've joined a game. In team games I will
often drop when the rst of the team decides to give up. Partly this is a
result of unofficial gentlemen's agreements at the beginning of the game
that one team will not seek to prolong a game beyond the point where
there is a concensus view that one team has won.
On the other hand, in more individual games, I'm all in favour of
fighting to the death. For instance I was persuaded to take over a Long
Rider possition in a 2950 game some while back. I was apalled, it had a
mere 1 major town and nothing else! With a minimum of support from my
allies, I now have a viable (if tiny) position. It's actually a great
deal of fun.
