    Really, going rogue may be "fun", but it stopped being original in 2006. There are other ways to have fun again, and going rogue just speaks volumes about the lack of creativity of the people involved.

    Actually I would argue that people were still going rogue and doing it in fairly original ways well into late 2007/2008, potentially even into much later stages of the game. Only the simple act of going rogue against an alliance leader was really "old" by the end of 2006.

    Going rogue just serves a simple and efficient endgame strategy. I imagine that most people who have decided to quit the game, and to go out with a little "fun", whether it be going rogue on an alliance, or an individual nation, really don't want to invest much more time in the game. Why, if I'm quitting anyway, would I sit around attempting to come up with creative and original ways to do so, when a simple solution such as attacking the #1 nation (Yuri), or attacking one of the furry alliances such as STA (CoUNT), exists and meets my need for one last little bit of "fun". Besides, everything has been done in the this game anyways, and if it's not been done it's been tried. There really aren't any feasible creative endgame strategies left, largely owing to how long this games been played, and how many people have chosen to exit it with one last hurrah. Going rogue is simply the classic that never gets old for the instigator, and never stops being irritating for the recipient. Which is why it's forever popular imo.

    Threads like these make me wish I had taken meticulous notes or ever written down my story. I imagine it would be an interesting read for many.
