Conquer Club

I was told they are legal, but if so then why is it listed as a no no so clearly in the faq?

I got rear ended by two guys who did this and when I complained about it I was basically shouted down by someone who I'm assuming was some sort of moderator. I joined this site to have fun and have but this kind of thing really detracts from the enjoyment. I'd appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

"secret" alliances are not allowed. however, at some point it becomes obvious when 1 person is dominating 2 others that the 2 must team up on the 1 to survive. lots of the time, it is not a planned alliance, but just coincidentally mutually benefitial.

alliances are allowed, if they are announced, and secret alliances are not allowed, but two people working together for mutual benefit does not neccessarily mean that there was a secret alliance involved in the situation.

This did not fit that category at all, if anything they were both stronger than me!

Game number?

I assume you mean this game?

nmhunate is no mod. He's gpellamir's team mate usually, I think.

Thats the one, should I put this in the cheaters forum or am I being over sensetive about this?

2008-02-07 23:36:29 - nmhunate: Although you are correct about the rule against unspoken alliances, gpellamjr is correct, there can be unspoken truces.
2008-02-07 23:36:41 - nmhunate: one does not have to attack just because you can attack
2008-02-07 23:37:37 - nmhunate: therefore I am ruling on the side og gpellamjr and spyhunter. There is no alliance.

Hahahahaha!
Yeah, that's just gpellamjr's doubles partner, who he apparently called in to protect him and intimidate you.

By the looks of it though, red just sat back and let you two kill each other, which is a really good way to win three player games. You're probably best to just let it die and try not to fall for the same trick again.

It seems like you weren't understanding one of the finer points of the game. From the log, red seems to have had a legitimate strategy.

I understood why he did it, in my mind it was an unspoken truce. It's not at all hard to understand what he did but to me it violates the integrity of the game. That was my whole point to him, and using his doubles partner in that way only serves to undermine his position even further.

As far as nmhunate goes, he lied, or at least misrepresented himself in an attempt to get me off gpellamirs ass about the unspoken truce...

Anyway, thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

yer two players working together to kill a stronger opponent usually never has to be announced if you are playing with smart players...its when u go to far that it looks suss. my advice is stay away from 3 player games as it is

Yeah, sometimes skilled players recognize each others need of an alliance without announcing one... but very trusting players as well...
