I have some experience in diplomatic multiplayer games, sort of similar to this one. Once there are people who feel like they have no chance of winning anymore (especially if they cannot resign), they often act as “Kingmakers”, helping change the outcome of the game in favor of one person or the other. Because that way, at least you impact the outcome of the game.
I believe that Haze and 李建澔2 probably feel that way, and I am starting to feel that way as well.
