May have been discussed before so sorry beforehand if I'm dragging up an old topic.
When is it ok to ignore a flag over a truce? Playing on 29 square board. Tying for 1st with another player. One other player is active with 3 squares. 3-squares asks if anyone "needs help." My main opponent say "yes" very quickly and then I'm on the back foot. Shortly afterwards I flag 2nd. The player in first then proceeds to farm me even though I'm flagged. His reasoning is a truce is greater than a flag and the guy who was on 3 squares should get 2nd. Is this right? Seems pretty rough to me. Cheers, Gantz |

at 3:19 PM, Monday August 11, 2008 EDT "Truce greater than a flag" makes sense when one of the truced parties has flagged, that is, when you truce, you and your partner have thrown your fortunes together and your flag should not be honored unless both you and your partner have flagged. But in the case described here, the nontrucer has flagged. The alliance should honor the flag in any situation where a single player would honor the flag since in trucing they are acting as if they are one player.
