Alliances

[steel24]

I know that diplomacy and alliances are part of the rules, but I feel that a lot of gamers in here would like to start a game where they can be secure in the fact that no one in there game will suggest an alliance. Can whomever this concerns, make a checkbox for "No alliance games" in the gamefinder section? Please

The reason that alliances are allowed is that if they were outlawed then they would simply be made in secret which is far worse. One option is to set up private games with people you know wont make alliances,alternatively play escalating games where they rarely occur.

First, I don`t like escalating games, I don`t sit in front of my computer long enough for that to be an advantage. Second, I know there are a lot of other gamers who feel the same as I do and would honor the type of game setting being played. I don`t cheat and most other players in this forum don`t cheat. The ones that do usually get called out by the player they PM to do such a thing.

Are you thinking of Freestyle games?

I understand where ur coming from. I prefer only using alliances or ceasefires for the sole purpose of dethroning the strongest player. Its a way to balance the game out. Not making them in the first round in order to become dominant.

The only reason I can see this option being ineffective though is, what would stop people from joining these games with a buddy with full intention of making an alliance either to piss you off or just get points.

alliances are legal in all games - this wont be changed.
