So the only active player for the Targaryen alliance is Targaryen himself, which is controlled by a new player, who probably joined not fully realizing how terrible his allies' situations were.

Ever since the Baratheon alliance broke through into the Reach (from multiple sides, I might add), the game has essentially been over. If there were no financial rules, Tyrell and Hightower could marshal their forces and defend a small area of settlements as a last stand. But the financial rules prevent this strategy. They must either slowly disband their forces and therefore be killed by their enemies, or go bankrupt and be killed by the admin.

Does anyone object to ending this game, now that victory is all but a certainty?

I believe we can call this hotseat over.

I haven't been here for a lot of time, but seeing the battlefield through that single turn kind of broke my hopes of victory. Know that I will not object should this hotseat come to a close.

Yeah, we're also outnumbered in the Reach. About 9 or 10 full stacks total against 5-6 of ours. I was hoping on the fact I would be able to take something to assist the debt. Still questioning Lannister's stack upkeep…

I've no objection, have been fairly confident of victory since braking into the Reach. + With my new map coming very soon I'm all for one less HS using the old map.

Then congratulations to the victors! Everyone spread some +rep around. It was a good hotseat. The Crownlands were a big fortified chess match at one point. Teamwork played a huge role, which is nice to see also.
