Just going to say if you haven't read this, do it. I stickied it because recently newer people around here have been asking what we mean by "shark" and "flounder"

I am an octopus and a squid. 8-)
I talk a lot from the very start of the game and like 2 hours before the game starts when every single player says hi in the public chat, i message all of of them no matter their position. Then after I have talked to everyone and understood who they are, I black out everyone except for the ones whom i share a border with, knowing that the others should be mutually friendly with me. Then, I talk and spread information until somebody backstabs me. That is when I become the deadly squid and target all of my knowledge to sabotage and rally everyone against that player. I usually have lots of support from flounders and other followers. However, I am a bit more greedy and try to spark interest into sharks and pirahnas.
Friends: Everyone... *almost everyone
Foe: No-one... *almost no-one

The killer whale

After a war, while most players would eliminate or leave the turtle alone, the killer whale knows there is much more profit to be gained from a turtle than just an elimination.
The killer whale surrounds the turtle and (usually through a display of force) gets the turtle to agree to his demands. The poor turtle is forced to give up any specialist and drillers to the killer whale untill he finishes the turtle off or allows him to live untill end game.

Favorite specialist: pirate (or any specialist he tells the turtle to give him.)

Mining tendencey: gets the turtle to build mines for him.

Diplomatic style: threatening and vary controlling.

Friend: The Guppy
"Give me all your drillers and specialist and i wont eliminate"
"Fine, maybe you wont betray me this time..."

Foe: The Crab
"Give me all your drillers and specialist and i wont eliminate"
"HELL NO!"

Ive only seen this a handful of time, maybe its more common then i expected, but anyway thats my recommendation.

I like this. It was a fun read. I would add the chicken fish. The player who quits at any sign of trouble.
