Truces When There Are Only 3 Players

[bamage]

Is this considered bad form?

listen to Wac.

As long as they are declared, And re member even if there is no truce you should play like there is in 3 player. For it is always you against all.

[banana_hammocks]

It is entirely acceptable, as long as the truce is only for as long as the third person is a clear leader, with better players often it is not even needed to announce it as both players will instictively go for it.

No!

All truces and alliances in any situation are perfectly legal and should not be considered anything. If you are allied against in a 3 player game and you lose becuase of it - its YOUR stratagy that needs adjusting. Not the winning stratagy of those who beat you.

so stfu

Agreed. I find a 3 person game with good players can last a long time as each realizes they have to keep the leader at the time in check, with no posting about it.

I hate alliances in 3 person games. Whats even worse is when you go 3v1

[Herakilla]

woops, yes, you're right. sorry!

after considering this, i agree that alliances are ok even with just 3 players left. it's part of the game.

[what,me worry?]

3 player truces are bullshit unless one player is clearly dominating. In that case, the truce should end once the threat is over. too many times more experienced players will manipulate the younger less experienced players into commiting to killing off the "stronger player". The end is always the same as the the player who sits back and watches cleans up. 3 PLAYER ALLIANCES SHOW HOW STUPID THE PLAYER WHO AGREES TO ONE ARE!!!!!!!!!!

I no longer join 3 player games unless I am playing with fellow xi gamers. There are just too many jerks out there who ambush the odd guy out, and then play each other for your points......fuggim

I'm not a fan of truces especially because i was a victim of one. This guy offered a 3 turn truce on one of our borders, and i think we had ~ 55 on both countries. I accepeted, and the next turn he cashes and hits me, even though we were both the weaker players on the board vs one guy that took out 3 of the previous players. Truces are ehh....

[Jehan]

i dont like em, like banana said before, its usually pretty obvious if someone is leading and decent players will always go for that person, i dont mind them if they only last as long as one person is clearly dominating, but to kill someone off with an alliance is pretty ghey.

great news as I have a mate who plays and we can now start gaining points in 3 player games thanks for the announcement that it's legal to get a good friend and steal points from others

[codeblue1018]

Indeed they are acceptable, however, in a three person game, I think it is cheap play especially in a cards game. Who am I to say though, people can do whatever it is they feel comfortable with. Good players will stop a strong player without needing an alliance.

[grim_reaper]

Truces with only three players: that's just weak. I'm in such a situation now: I have 3 continents and the others have each one. They also have 4 and 5 cards. Then they start to play togehter. It just weak. That has nothing to do with strategy anymore.

[glide]

Bob72....I'd like you to meet the rest of the weak assed twits on my ignore list.......weak assed twits.......this is Bob 72.......now all of you sit here quietly, and never bother me again.

[bob72]

you sir are at royal tit.....

Everyone say's it's acceptable yet you feel it necessary to attack me for doing it.

WHAT THE **** you are the jerk not me.

I mearly pointed out the stupidity of the game where people are openly allowed to cheat and congratulated for it. I'm under on illusion after playing more than 150 games that those ranked highest got there by such tactics. So to sit there high and mighty and criticise me for doing what most high ranking players have don't (come on you don't get 1800+ points playing 6 man assassin no one is that naive to even think it.).

Why just me why not EVERY other poster who has said it's ok. Only because I openly say what they all think?

[glide]

any player that says it's ok, or any player I meet that does it, go's on my ignore list........I just wanted you to know that you're there, your avatar is irritating, and I generally hope your face falls off, your hair slides down over the gooey mass where your face once was, continues on down into your neck, where it slowly chokes you to death. heheheheh.......other than that, have a nice day.

[bob72]

lol glide want to take it to the flame thread hehe

My post was a tongue in cheek response to AAs post saying it was a legal move which I found irritating as he clearly hadn't thought it through.

You then took my post at face value without reading what I was quoting and attacked me.

still I see from your post that there is no malice and agree to shake hands

(PS my avatar is staying as I don't have any others )

If everyone declared a truce against war, then we could all love.
