Typical Cohen. Two turns ago, he had more than twice as many provinces as anyone else. Still has more than twice as many forts. Still has almost twice as much gold income and more gem income than anyone else. Only Man (who cheated) and C'tis have better research.

But, typical Cohen - he overextended, expanding without consolidating his gains and without protecting them, and when people (naturally) take advantage of this and start grabbing his undefended provinces, he doesn't like it. (Won't change his style of play or strategy, but doesn't like the results.)

So it isn't any fun anymore, he's got sand in his underwear - time to quit. Meantime, he isn't enforcing the rules he made, ie, kicking Man to AI for using an invalid Theme / pretender for the game.

So - I guess that from now on, all Cohen's "house rules" are just guidelines - Manticores and VQs are close enough to "human / immobile" pretenders, for instance. 0 clams, 20 clams - close enough.
