What if specials expired?
I don't know how I do it sometimes... but yes, lying def can form part of it from time to time. More often than not it's providing hope to the lower placing players or those in trouble.. feed them some info here and there.. help them with tactics if they're not as tactically smart.
But in your game I believe mostly they were after revenge against yourself or other players, or wanting help to survive. I'll have to look back at that game because I don't think I was getting specs from them until the mid/late game. And I was still fighting yourself and topkilla (who I didn't even realise I'd played against before until now!) when the other players were gifting me specs. I really shouldn't have won that game. You made a big mistake in not moving more drillers to protect your two kings. If you'd done that, I was gone.
It's funny you consider that as one of your least fav games, as I consider it one of my best. I keep meaning to do a recap of that game... it's been a while but I hopefully will get around to it. I may or may not include the part where you called me a pathological liar and that I have a mental illness
Honestly for me it's all part of the game and I hold no grudges to those who beat me, lie to me, etc. All part of the game and I'd work as much with them or against them as anyone else next time depending on the scenario we face.
