Athlete's reasoning (first two emphasises are mine):
The question he has to ask himself though is how much out of game devastation is he going to create to get an in-game advantage, when it is, by his own admission, just a game.
Anyway, I see people are venting in Athlete's thread; That is quite likely to influence him to change his mind in some way and could directly influence the course of the game.

It's not like I'm hurting and/or injuring Slaze. It's one computer entity killing another. I know full well we have emotional attachments to our civ's and I'd be devestated if this happened to me. I can't say I'd react any better or worse than Slaze. But I'm sure he'll get over it, as I would. Most people aren't going to get too hung up on a game. I would never do something like this to somebody in RL and I'm comfortable with that so any criticisms I receive publicly or privately about the game, I'm OK with. I think that's all I have to say.

I have to run.
