Strategic? One player gets an advantage and everyone flags in a chain reaction because anyone who doesn't respect his authoritah will get smashed by the rest of the table. Really fucking strategic.

I had a game the other day were the opposite occurred. One player got the lead and the other players formed into two groups, one on each side of him, eventually leaving him at 6th place. That's strategy, and it was an awesome game. Too bad that's so rare these days.

THE BUG IS STILL THERE.

Viperman - this occurs and shows, that there is characters that should not be awarded power. Better they show their ethical inadequacy here than they did in real life. Some really think leading the game equals god like powers.

But you have to agree, surrendering to your neighbor with those 8stacks pointing at your nice little 5s is ok, isn't it? Making killing you not necessary by showing that white linen with a 2 when you could have been a danger why not? Flagging 2nd might be smarter than being fucked from 2 sides for 5th... and the 2 couldn't trust you if you couldn't flag. We had the bad characters and low ethics above.
