Not that uncommon for them to announce it in chat either.

So you're upset that he took a risk hoping for good dice to finish you off, and failed?wilkerma wrote:It wasn't a killer blow, he had three castles, i had two and the other dude had three before i attacked him and afterwards he still had two and a large stack left. The other dude had his castles well gaurded/hadnt broke the neutral ten and i saw that the game was turning into a build stage where the most important thing is troops due, thus holding castles is very important. The area that he attacked me in was in a delicate balance between the three of us with everyone holding large stacks in the region, unwilling to throw them at each other because of the prescence of the third stack that would roll over all of us after the attack. After taking his castle in the lower left of the map, a differnt area than from the staredown, that he had overextended to take from a neutral he got pissed, dropped spoils and threw his stack at mine in the aforementioned region, wiping out both stacks and giving green two easy castles, thus giving him the game. Yes i had struck him a grevious blow but he could still have recoverd, and worked to rebuild his troops while green and i stared each other down. In hindesight once i've cooled down it was a stupid, vindictive move and gave the game away but it was not cheating, simply him making an immature, knee jerk reaction to a sudden change in the game situation. If the mods see this close the thread and clear him. I've just foed him and moved on.


To add a brief post-scriptum: Setting the "fight to win" issue aside, long-term it makes sense to counter-assault. If not retaliating, people know that they can assault you with no consequence if creating a situation where the 3rd player is the strongest. If consequently counter-assaulting, they will learn not to rely on your "good manners" so to speak. Hence, always counter-assault even if this likely will cause a 3rd player to win the game.king achilles wrote:The vengeful attack may be understandable but still, since we are here to win the game, you should always play to win. Do not forget that you are all still opponents. It's everyone's job to eliminate you and win the game for himself. This report shall be noted for now in case he gets reported and does this again.
