With the way the game is set now a flagger can continue to play. Which is ok BUT once a player flags they never ever attack anyone above them. When this happens it doesn't matter what you want to call it it is a truce if the higher players honor it. There are players like myself that when we flag we completely stop playing. A flag or anything like it in any other game is a surrender, and the player can only hope the other players do in fact honor it. For myself I usually do, and when I do have to attack a flagged player it is only to connect. This topic has been beaten to death, and with everything said the flag option is a total useless option unless the player is frozen from play. Truces and the option to flag are great parts to our game. They should be set as two different options. 1- Ask for a truce and continue to play or 2- flag and give up your play and hope its honored. I will continue to play k-dice, and if a player flags and doesnt play I will not attack. If you flag and continue to play then you are an active player in the game.

at 10:10 AM, Friday July 11, 2008 EDT Your last two sentences are correct. Flags are open for interpretation and players are free to use them any way they like.
I personally don't like the flagging system very much, but it's part of the game so get used to it. If you choose NOT to attack anymore once you flag, prepare to lose the position you flagged for. |

Another problem is when people spread out, get 2nd or 3rd, and flag. I will never honor that flag, because that person does not deserve it.
