Honestly, if there's anyone in the game you should opportunistically nab a city off of, it's probably mackoti, because my understanding is that he's too good, too calm and collected, a player to start raging against you with hordes of whipped units because of it. He always does exactly the right thing to win the game, and if raging against you isn't it, which it ususally isn't, he won't do it. Now, I've never personally analyzed mackoti's playstyle - these impressions are coming solely second-hand - so if one of you has read his games and knows better, let us know. But my impression is that, if militarily possible, sniping a city off mackoti might actually be a reasonably safe move - unlike against, say, suttree, due to increased perspective and lack of rage. So I'm not sure I'm as adverse to this as I would be against any other player - eg. dtay. (I'm also probably a fool, but you never know.)
