Speaking generally anyway, there are plenty of reasons to impale yourself on another power. That game we played, Lopt? I did it twice, once was against Italy because he stabbed me a second time for no good reason, so I decided to destroy him if I did nothing else in that game. Then, when Turkey stole Greece (preventing me from having the unit manpower to hold the line against you), I decided to eliminate him, and in the process, you destroyed me, my back turned to you. So don't just assume anything, okay? And if you do, email the mods.
