That was the plan. But one of the players didn't like who he was lumped 
with, and implored me to change his situation.

So he traded in two of his neighbors (6 borders) for a smattering of 
additional borders with other people. That was certainly better than 
maintaining the nice pretty numbers that everyone started with, in 
exchange for re-calculating everyone's borders.

Then he wondered, with the tone of one who wants another change, why he 
was given a reduce opportunity (6 borders vs the original 9). Shortly 
after my response, he decided he wanted to step away from the group for 
a bit.

Normally when a player bows out, I do try to connect his neighbors 
together in some equitable fashion. Usually one's number of borders 
don't change by much (generally by one or two.) However, you might find 
that you are suddenly connected with a person on the complete-other-side 
of the abrupt-hole the departing empire created.
