Otherwise, I'm fine with playing the fade out game, I like games of chance.

I bow to the wishes of my allies-forced-to-become-enemies and agree to an end of the wars. Any of the solutions proposed so far is agreeable, but I am loath to see The First resign, as he has proven himself first in honor so many times and deserves not to leave on his own. If he resigns, I would be tempted to concede the victory to Scharazade. But after 169 turns, I think I can marshal enough final energy to go through the fadeout plan proposed by our Moderator, and let victory be determied partly by the randomness of the Region Crises and partly by our own final maneuverings.
