Truce etiquette

Postby Tatts_83 on Mon May 31, 2010 4:30 am

i posted this in Q & A but got no response so deleted it and putting it here instead.

In this game i have a truce with both pink and blue in Africa. Blue is peacefull borders and Pink is a no breaking bonus truce.
For those that don't wanna look, it's World 2.1 and i hold south and Centre, pink Nth East and blue Nth West.
Pink has just broken through me into Blues territory and moved across into south america reducing 3 of his bonuses.
Pink has now asked me to take his territory in Cameroon thereby blocking blue in so he will have to break the truce to get payback on pink. There is nothing to stop pink doing the same again next turn. He is taking full advantage of my agreement with blue and it seems a bit dodgy.

What should i do. Blue is the strongest on the board and pink is the smallest but i have had an agreement with pink for longer.
Is there any sort of CC etiquette that i should follow?

Sorry for the long post.

Well it all depends on the terms of the truces. If the terms only concern with assaulting territories, then blocking another player from assaulting someone does not violate the truce.

Its CC etiquette to give one turn notice before ending the truce.
I wouldnt bother ending the truce tho.If they are attacking each other let them do it.Don't get in the way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me like blue is faltering. Sure, he'll take the flat rate on his turn, and he may fight back against pink, but he's against both pink and yellow and have little chance of coming back. Also, it seems like you only control the Middle East while Blue is the only thing that is threatening you, green, yellow, and pink. Which means that once blue is out, green and yellow will have N.America and Australia back respectively. The only time to attack is now. End the truce with Pink, and take his territories. When pink is out, Blue will still be up against yellow and green and probably won't attack you due to your alliance. When the game is down to four, you should aim to take out Green ASAP. Hopefully, you'll be able to eliminate him and get his cards, which would allow you to collect another bonus and continue your expansion. By this time, the strongest player would be blue (with S.America, Mexico, parts of Africa, and parts of Australia) , with you second (Middle East, Parts of Australia, Most of Asia and most of Europe) and yellow third (Parts of Europe and N. America).

If possible, ally with yellow and give blue a one turn warning (although when there are only three players left, it's almost understood that old alliances are off). Give yellow Europe so that you can take full control of Asia and combine forces to destroy blue. When you do so, you should have Australia, Asia, Africa, Middle East, parts of Europe, leaving yellow with parts of Europe and N.America, and parts of S.America. If all goes well, you'll take out yellow with little resistance. (if everything goes as I said :P)

Best case scenario would be for blue to attack you without warning. Then, no one cares about etiquette and you'll be able to ally with yellow, and reduce blue's power without having to warn blue first.

thanks for the replies guys. i was busy last night and didn't get a chance to get back on here to see your opinions.
Thanks for the input. conquermaniacomg, that is a massive explanation, i'll give it a shot and see how things turn out, although slightly differently cos i don't like green. He hit me early when blue and yellow were the largest so i wanna take him out first.
Thanks again
