Does flagging mean you can't fight for the place you flagged for?

In a recent game I flagged for 2nd, because I didn't have a hope in hell of getting 1st. I proceeded to attack a contender for the 2nd. The leading player expressed disaproval, both verbally and by hammering me out of the game:

"you flagged and then attacked someone who had a shot at second...that's a puss move"

Is this the general feeling of the kdice community?

when you flag you surrender period. you shouldn't attack or anything, in war when a white flag is raised do you think the flagger will attack someone? no.

IMO, if you flag for second, you can fight for second. You are only indicating to first that you aren't going to fight him/her.

when u flag, u show the upper places, that u wont attack them, but of cause u can defend your current place against other candidates!

i think you can fight when you are flagged.
if not, why not just turn all your lands into greys and skip turns automatically.

I had the same thing happen to me. I tried to explain to first what I was doing and he wouldnt listen. Then third place turned on first and then it was OK if I hit third. Funny how that works.

Flagging for second place means that you are not a threat to first. It is POLITE for first place to honor this and leave second alone unless there are some other reasons (truces, need to get through, etc) why first would need to attack the flagged second.
