    I was just playing a game in which one player decided to murder-suicide another player, causing me to clean up and gain a perhaps undeserved victory. I am having a bit of a crisis of conscience about it. I may have thought to vote to terminate if it had not been a real time game. Is it possible/legitimate to terminate or remove from the rankings ex post facto?

    I know it's not exactly analogous to this, but somehow I still feel like it's a real life equivalent of somebody smashing the board.

    People murder/suicide for all the wrong ..and all the right reasons.  It's part of the game. And unlike the real life game, you can't knock over the board ..not even virtually.

    Speaking for myself -- who am I to say which is which?  There will always be a winner.

    ..but then again, you always have to deal with your conscience.

    It should be possible to play WG boards in real-time ..without the wait, regardless of how many are playing.

    You can send tom a message, and I'm pretty sure he can score the whole game with zero's.

    I'd take the win and a clear conscience... it's war! :)

    Perhaps the murder suicide was sending a message they thought the game was worth. Perhaps, he thought you deserved the victory. Perhaps, it was Karmic balancing for all your healthy living or a bunch of bad dice rolls in your past or future. Perhaps you should thank the gods and sleep soundly tonight.  =)

    Yeah, somewhere I forgot that this is a game of chance. That and somebody murder-suicided me yesterday. I'll take it. Thanks.
