A FLAG IS A TRUCE

Disagree? Let me explain.

If three players are at a table (Red, Blue and Green) and Red flags to Blue they are TRUCED. Red and Blue will no longer attack each other and focus on Green. Even if Green flags to Blue I guarantee 80% of the time Blue will disrespect the flag.

If four players are at a table (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) and Red flags to Blue they are TRUCED. The only reason you would flag in a 4 person table is if you were so vulnerable to one opponent you can only survive with their help.

Likewise, since Red flagged to Blue it only makes sense that Green and Yellow team up. Red and Blue now have the common enemies of Green and/or Yellow. Therefore Green and Yellow (if they are smart) will now have the common enemies of Blue and Red.

This pattern is true up until a full table is reached. Any flag is a sign of weakness and collaboration and should ALWAYS be seen as a truce.

Comments?

I don't disagree but I also just don't feel like reading all this talk about colors and percentages.

counter whenever someone gives you a chance to counter if you want to win

Flags are 95% of a truce. Not attacking each other is the same fucking thing as helping each other.

But good luck trying to explain that to a noob.

I disagree

In some cases you are right but in half these case 1st will accept both flags. It all depends on how big he is vs the others, how "late" green flagged and how much red helped in fighting green...

so it is all way more complicated than just saying a flag is a truce

some flags are truces, most aren't, some people use "flag truces" to fake counters

but that's the fun in Kdice, everything is debatable and every game situation is different

jurg if red is "helping" blue to fight green does that reinforce that it is a truce situation

If SG en DJ are on the same table and one flags the other, defenitely consider it a truce and counter it.
