Is it bad sportsmanship to ask people to break alliances?

Strategy, feedback, or anything SUBTERFUGE-related

    This is usually the best way to end a bad alliance, and it's also good to announce these conditions when creating the alliance (eg "24hr warning if alliance ends").

  • The important thing to remember if you're offering an alliance is you have to offer something the other player wants. They are not going to consider throwing all their plans away just because some ambitious upstart thinks the guy at the top needs to be taken down. You have to allow them to believe they will gain the most from this plan.

    Also, never resign. This looks bad on your record and is by far the most disappointing thing for a player to do. If you're not having fun find a new objective like ending in third or eliminating a specific player. You might find concentrating on something else then first may open new opportunities for victory in your game.

    The next game I jumped to make alliances early on, found myself tied down in an unhealthy relationship, so I simply announced the alliance was at an end. 5 days later I attacked the player and he called me a backstabber. In that same game an ally turned on us too.

    You can give names, bud. That ally was me.
    And I am glad you decided to come into the forums! It was nice talking with you (even though when the game was total chaos, but hey, we enjoyed it I guess)

    Lol, not at all, I don't want to give names but the Ally I really distrusted was sky. For the record, you did attack while we were allies, but since I had just attacked your Ally and half expected you to attack me I don't really count it as turning on me. Brown was the player that really turned on me.

    Glad to see you here. I notice your name pops up quite a lot on these forums.

  • But here is a question. I was trying like crazy to get you to work with me over sky the whole game. What could I have done to have you choose my side, or were you just sticking to your word.

  • I was just sticking to my word. As I said in game, I would actually rather be allies with you more as I met and realized how better you were than sky. But since I had already this established alliance, I tried to be peaceful with you till the end, but I had to make a choice. And I chose to keep my word, even if it cost me an easy silver.
