Raptillicus and morrigan have a secret pact. Raptillicus has only 1 army defending his european bonus where morrigan has his armies yet he has 6 and 8 armies defending europe against the rest of the players.
I have asked morrigan in game why he doesn't attack blues bonus

Use the form....and check your game number. None of the players mentioned in your complaint are even in the game you listed.

I'm not so sure I'd break that bonus if I were him. He's got 42 armies to counter-attack, and there's no way teal could stop him if he did. The only thing keeping those 42 armies at bay is that Blue has no way to get them out. Obviously Blue could fort over and attack, but right now those armies are protecting his southern and eastern border.
While it may not be the best strategy, it seems to be working.
I do agree that it's pretty suspicious though. I didn't look over it too closely, but is teal taking attacks from yellow or from the asian side?
Edit: rechecked, and he does have armies on the Ukraine. If he is employing the strategy I posted above, then the only reason he has armies on the Ukraine is because the people to the east have nothing to lose. Teal would lose his bonus if he attacked Blue.

but surely teal knows that his 5 against 8 armies = lose why wait...
anyway i'm through with no cards games they are pointless and eventually lead to luck of the dice. I see no strategy just fear of losing which every general will tell you ultimately means defeat
Patton said it best when told that they were surrounded he said well they won't escape this time.

If it was 1v1, then it would be stupid to allow Blue to build up 2 extra armies per turn (especially in no cards); but with so many other people, he may just be waiting for someone else to make a move to either cripple blue, or blue to make a move that will spread himself thin.
As far as the game is concerned, Teal is getting more armies per turn than everyone except Blue. If he attacked Blue, he would lose his bonus and be in the same position as Pink is right now.
I do agree with you on No Cards. I like Escalating games because they normally end quicker. No Cards games usually just turn into whoever has the most patiences.

Secret alliances are hard to prove since everyone plays differently. If you suspect one, leave feedback and if we get enough complaints, we'll look into it.

LOL, I can't believe there has been a discussion over my motives in a game.
Nice to see people go whining to the boards when they can't figure out someone's tactics.
