Who thinks truce and alliance are two different things? Truce is a strategy that you offer someone not to attack to you,and vice versa...On the other hand,alliance is that you work together to dominate the table,which should be countered imho...Pre-post-ingame alliances all suck,but just so you know trucing and/or flagging does not mean that the other one will help you against your enemy,its just cease fire between two parties...Is that difficult to understand,or am i totally wrong with the terminology?

at 2:31 PM, Wednesday January 21, 2009 EST What I find funny are the people that start yelling COUNTER! when there really is little to counter... all because they *need* to be truced with others around them.
4th and 5th place team that have no shot at 1st or 2nd make room for each other and you are guaranteed to hear te 7th place guy yell COUNTER! to try to save his bacon. The old desperation strategy... I imagine everyone has done it at times, but there are a few people that do it all the time [name witheld]. |

at 5:55 PM, Wednesday January 21, 2009 EST I agree masterDD. And that subtle difference is crucial to the game. Alliances deserve countering, mutual deference is common sense and should have no bearing on the behaviour of other players imho

at 8:42 PM, Wednesday January 21, 2009 EST I think a major factor in the meaning of an agreement depends on the long-term relationship (LTR).
I have noticed when SOME people say "be nice" to another player it means complete alliance if they are in a LTR, and they will kill everyone else with the justification of an overt truce. The same person could say "be nice" to another player and then truce a LTR friend later to kill guy who "was nice". Some people also "truce" or otherwise cooperate with their neighbor ("go north" "be nice" "im cool") with the intention of screwing their partner over, flagging ahead of them, blocking them in... basically no intention of cooperating against other LTR friends at the table. I usually try to win and will honor any agreement in chat as long as we are both trying to win the game, although it helps if everyone makes their full intentions clear in chat. I would much rather competing hard to win another 5% of my games and take some points losses, than to spend every game playing for points. Most people like being ambiguous and I am trying to be more flexible and tolerate douchey etiquette and LTR friends. |
