Since I could foresee a scenario where the game will grind to a halt, I’d like to propose the following addition to the rules to prevent several weeks of waiting for the minimum stone counter to creep up, in the potential case that this may occur. These rules are of course open to discussion, and only a suggestion of how to play the endgame more smoothly.
If all players agree on a ranking of players still in the game (player A gets 1st place, player B gets 2nd place, etc.), everyone can submit this parallel to their move for that round, and the game will be concluded as such.
If the players do not agree on the order of players, the game does not end, and it will not be revealed what order the individual players have submitted, only that the game continues.
Players may choose to pass a certain number of rounds. If all players decide to pass a number of rounds, the game will progress up to the point that is either the minimal of the submitted pass lengths, or the round in which one of the players is eliminated. For example: if players A, B and C are still playing, A wishes to pass 7 rounds, B wishes to pass 10 rounds and C wishes to pass 5 rounds, then the game will progress 5 rounds. But, in this scenario, if player A for example would be eliminated after 3 rounds for not having enough, then the game will only progress 3 rounds, and continue immediately after A is eliminated.
In saying how many rounds you wish to pass, you may also say you wish to pass “up to 2 moves before player X is eliminated”, to avoid confusion about how many moves you might need to pass for your strategy.
The message that you will pass, will be interpreted as passing a single round, please indicate clearly that you wish to pass an X number of rounds or that you will pass indefinitely.
If you disagree with this idea, you don’t have to do anything differently, as “playing as normal” will make sure none of the things above will come into effect in the game.

Suppose that the Star Kingdom will become deserted and only the foundations of its buildings remained, future generations will find it hard to believe that this Kingdom once dominated a quarter of the known world. On the other hand, if one were to compare them to the ruins of Cochineal, one would conjecture from what met the eye, that it was four times as powerful as it was.
