Haven't attacked each other once even though both have at times been week for attack and have had larger bonus's than me all the way through. You can tell from game 7085331 that they are friends and email each other instead of using the cc chat to at least warn us they are working as a team!

You missed one XD

EDIT: @ the OP. I looked at the games. Yes, I agree they're friends. But i dont see how they were conducting secret diplomacy. They have been hitting each other. they offered one semi-truce in open chat. Thats it. I don't see anything else amiss there. Is there something I'm missing?

well they don't attack each other anywhere it counts.

But i guess i've miss understood the rules. But it seems mighty unfair to join games with your mates and then work together from the off but then maybe i'm just missing a trick. So as long as i make a half comment about not attacking each other at the start, i can play with a friend and take it turns to win the game?

i didnt say that. hell.....ppl have been blocked for it in the past. I'm trying to get you to elaborate on your view. I don't see it and its usually pretty hard to prove what they were doing.

Standard game play to not bust peoples shit in the hope they will return the favour. If they attack you where it hurts rather than card swap/hit non core regions then you go after them, otherwise you leave them alone whilst they leave you alone. Three player games are always a bitch fight anyway, and are suited to mouthy little tossers that like to accuse others of suicide, secret diplomacy, stupidity etc, trying to use the chat box to play the other two players off against each other, so the verbal fighter can walk the board. Waste of time playing 3player games really. The points don't add up, you have almost the same odds of winning a 5player game on a map you know, you gain more points for winning, and the same for losing, so why waste your time with a 3player. Sorry off on a tangent again. :oops:

Doesn't look like secret diplomacy, but thats just my unedumakated tinking.

I would have to agree with that

. Perhaps you should attempt to count the number of players in the game again (hint: it's not 3)

recently changed my mullet grooming lotion, maybe this one has a few to many chemicals... ah well, back to the good ole bacon fat, and beef tallow I guess

Just because someone doesn't break a bonus or attack where we think they should doesn't make it secret diplomacy. What is in your best interest might not be in their best interest.

CollinH29 and astro_1234 are CLEARED of secret diplomacy.

If you have any proof that they have communicated between each other that would help. I encourage friends not to play open games together but to just play private games.

As far as BoganGod not knowing how to count. I heard he only has 3 fingers on the one hand and has to touch them with the other hand when he counts. He has tried counting on his toes but he keeps tickling himself when he counts and loses count so he has to start over.
