I almost always play immediately when my turn is available because I have the notifier, as I assume other do which is why in some games dminus, johnnyrocket, naktay, mepierce, chadmw, montcristo, kramsey06, and countless others have played within minutes of each other.
it is very hard to get out of the loop of playing with some of the same players over and over when you are a) not a premium member and can only play 4 at a time, b) join new games almost immediately after finishing a game, and c) you have someone in more than one game with you.
I don\\\'t look to see who\\\'s in a game, I join standard freestyle escalating unlimited public games. if I can start a game and move first, I choose that one regardless of who\\\'s in it. If ones not waiting for 1 player to start, I join and wait.
Since almost every game listed above I lost, I again pose the question, Why the hell would I have alliances that I don\\\'t benefit from?!?!
[quote=\\"AAFitz\\"]sometimes un spoken alliances exist in the game. you dont hit them, they dont hit you...happens all the time...youre waiting for the right moment to strike as are they...[/quote]
I never thought of this as an alliance, but I am definitely guilty if it is. I just don\\\'t see the point in attacking an obviously superior opponent and weakening myself when I can attack a single army of another player, win, get my card, and fortify against the stronger foe until the cards are right to cash. I have done this with other players than mepirce and montcristo but again, I never thought of this as an alliance since nothing is spoken of it.
If it were called in chat in any of my games, I would defend it there instead of here and wouldn\\\'t be so animate once the forum post was made.
