I swear if I could just delete my cities this game would actually be more balanced for everyone else. Right now I'm stuck in the position that I have to go and make someone else lose just to have any relevance to the game, and that's not exactly a reasonable play. There are no targets that are "valid" if I were trying to win the game, as Kyan and Seven are too far away, and Serdoa has a front city on a hill, behind a three tile long, 1 tile wide isthmus covered in forest and jungles, with archers. Even if I built a stack of axes, I can't take the city, and once he pops borders (or puts a warrior at the end of the chokepoint on his side) he will see me coming 5 turns in advance. I can't win via religion, domination, conquest or SS, leaving Culture as the only potential VC, and all of my cities have to be coastal and front line cities.
Whatever happens, I expect someone to complain about my choices in game and say I gifted the win to someone. And they wouldn't be wrong...
