Asteroids & clones, and spcforce & clones Leeching

In this INP, the player is destroying all but the last asteroid, and then attacking spaceships only. It's rather easy if you know what you're doing.

Should this be allowed in Asteroids and similar games?

Even before I post my vote, I have the feeling that I'm going against the crowd. This feels like it meets the requirements of leeching. You can do it for an unlimited amount of time and you can get extra players doing it. I vote no.

P.S. Ok, i'm not going against the crowd. Heh

I would like to note that you kicked some serious tail on the other ROMset without leeching. ;)
