If you don't understand the objections to PPSC, then you probably don't understand the game. As evidenced by your posts, you guys clearly do not. The is no such thing as second place in Diplomacy. You either win, lose, or draw equally with all partners. I understand that players frequently throw games after a stab, or for slights, and even for eye rolls, or for a variety of other reasons. The difference in Diplomacy is that if you throw a solo, you lose like everyone else. Rewarding any player with points for allowing a solo against them is contrary to the objective of the game. It's no longer Diplomacy at that point. The PPSC set up not only offers that, it encourages it. Maybe it's because we live in the everyone gets a trophy era now. It's not snobbery or elitism. It's fundamental mechanics of the game.
There's no objection to draws. Draws are perfectly acceptable results, mutually agreed to among all surviving players. The game played correctly is intended to encourage draws as an alternative to losing, while the novelty of victory is meant to tempt players to risk it all. Thrown solos for reason such as second place loser points cheapen the accomplishments of earned solos.
