Stalemate?

[Fyron]

The facility did not inroduce the possibility of a stalemate; that already existed. Systems are limited to having 10 warp points in them. So, you could take 11 systems and close off all external warp points, and then create a network between them so that all 11 systems have 10 warp points going between each other.

I had a game once where I moved all the warp points for my systems onto my most heavily defended planet, and then built system shield generators. Wasn't exactly a stalemate, but it sure was fun watching my enemies try and break into my space through that warp point.

Hehe. I did that with a ring world once. That was the best. Funny.

Stalemate?
Philosophically Speaking:
The act of isolating oneself is tantamount to conceding defeat.
In any contest where an opponent has Isolated, themselves, (in whatever way this may manifest itself), it is fair to declare a moral victory. It does not matter what the score is. I would concede a few points for originality and claim victory.
I liken it to a teenager who can’t win an argument with their parents so goes off to sulk.
Oh, did I mention the only college class I recived an “A” in was philosophy?
