This is not a discussion of larger team play pga-ing in game.

This is a reply to the constant accusations that I see in game against usually first and second.

I'll set a hypothetical situation -- You're holding first or second in a game adjacent to someone holding another high rank in-game. You have no hit each other all game.

Low ranked player announces that you are pga with your neighbor.

To the two accused players -- this is not the case. It is the fact that you have not hit each other that you have had success in this game. There was no pre-determined truce. It was the path you chose to get where you are in the game.

But... low placing player disagrees with your strategy. So, they call you pga.

Many players been so quick to point fingers and attribute someone's in-game success to pga that I'm finding it rather annoying.

You're losing because you got a worse start/bad strategy whatever. You can't possibly fathom that you EARNED your place at the bottom.

Just because you think someone should make a move on the board and they don't doesn't mean they are pga -- it means that they have a different playing style than you do.

For me, I don't mind holding second and attacking third. Why would I attack first? So first and third can gang up on me? I would rather force third to flag for their position.

This is strategy that I have had a lot of success with -- not pga.

Know that you're not k-god and you cannot control/predict every single players move on the board and that it is not pga -- it is people looking to gain the most points they can in a game.

When I see people whining about random pga at tables, I classify you under the suck-ass category. Always playing for first and being taken out of games quickly because you have no skill to read the board.

If you put as much effort into whining as you did into actually learning how to work the map -- you wouldn't have to make false accusations. You could actually win a game.

I can see you using a pga accusation as a subverted strategy, but I have rarely seen success in this and well... I don't think you're that bright to utilize it successfully either.
