First: I think we´re all here to enjoy this wonderfull game!

After now 1 1/2 month there are different ways developed, to play and enjoy this game.

I think we have to respect everybodies way to play it - there are no rules, there´s no "ethic"-book, nothing.

So it´s on us, to play like we want.

But these discussions about "allies", "pre-game-allies" and so on are nerving...

So I don´t like these remorseless players, who take you out in the first five, six or seven rounds... Who don´t take care about the others. So if I see them again, Or I´m in he same game, I take them out also if I could.

Even I don´t like these chicken-hearted players with only one or two countries, who are attacked by a bigger player and who take out an other small player, before them go themselve...

But - they play like this, so should do it!

I don´t like it, so I don´t make it and I hope to profite in the next situation in the same way.

Then these players are coming and say - oh, protecting is not a good style. Shit! I do it, and it´s more then one time, these "tiny" players rescued my ass... So I will do it again!

So I think there are two strategies - playing with friends - making allies, and if you meet one, you will allie with him, nearly automatically. But to do this, you should play in a polite, friendly way.

The other way is to play remorseless - with this style you won´t find much friends. So you´re alone. But if you like it...

And the tables above 1700 will show that both strategies will be successfull. So what on?

Let them play how they want to do it... liberation!
