Since many people experienced how wrong it seems to be not to accept flags even though u could be straight messing ur own game by that...here is the brand new thing...
truce my last two reviews seem to be blaming me for that. it is some kind of warning to other players that, oh my god, there is a possibility i might team up with another player and probably might initiate the hole thing... really?!? i mean whats wrong with those people nower days?? |

at 7:54 PM, Sunday January 16, 2011 EST If people have to ask for the truce, they aren't worth trucing.
Just do it silently. PGA accusation > Counter. |

at 6:34 PM, Monday January 17, 2011 EST That's probably why you have no medals mo chara. Also, there's a big difference between playing the game (which bores the fuck out of me) and playing to win the month. If I play to win a month then I will do whatever it takes to win every game, and that means trucing inexperienced players if necessary.
Usually when trucing less experienced players it's important to remember you need to be less subtle with them, lest your moves be mistaken for stupidity. And that's why I respectfully disagree with Vermont, when it comes to sticking to OTFs (read: lite PGAs) for all your truces, silent or otherwise. |

at 9:23 PM, Monday January 17, 2011 EST Huh? I've said nothing of the sort. Most of the games I play now are down at the 500 tables anyway, so I rarely see the folks you would consider my OTFs.
Truce anyone you need to to win, and never ever break that truce. Many top players will come up with a reason to 'revolt,' but that's not my style. I keep my word, or at least try very hard to. It costs me points, but so be it. |

at 7:09 AM, Tuesday January 18, 2011 EST Scara, read the second bit of the first line. If you can't do it silently, don't bother.
Vermont, it probably doesn't cost points in the long term.. |

at 9:12 AM, Tuesday January 18, 2011 EST verms is right, if you want to maintain a perfect reputation, it WILL cost you points, both short term and long term.
a 'healthy' dosage of backstabbing your word (whether blatantly or using a lame-ass-convenient excuse) will get you more points in short term, and if you twist your words enough, kiss ass enough, the people you are stabbing for more points will actually thank you at the end of it. i bet veta would concur. |
