Talking strategy between truced players

[chinggisfan]

say you're playing a standard game, and you announce a truce in the game chat, can you talk strategy through private messages? if no, then not only does everybody know that you are allied, but they know exactly what you are planning. It seems fairer to keep the requirement for announcing publicly any truces while allowing strategy discussion in private messages. Anybody agree/disagree/want to clarify the rules for me?

I am turning into god -NIN

No multiple accounts.
No secret alliances.

i way i interpret the rules is the alliance must be announced, but theres no mention of teh alliances strategy

[RobinJ]

Personally, I believe that it should all be announced in game chat. Besides, I generally disapprove of alliances unless they're really needed, although there is nothing wrong with NAPs.

Edit: Wtf is the poll for? It got me slightly sidetracked.

[Fascisti]

I see no problem with using PMs to talk strategy...otherwise there's no purpose in talking strategy at all.

This is an underhand way of looking for other nudists on a non-Hasbro Risk site. However, I confess that I don't like pants either, but I'm still shy of going commando. Do you have any tips for me?

[Captain Crash]

IMO do it in game chat or don't do it - Simple!

[GrazingCattle]

Truce gives you the right to secret communication. They know you are working together, now they have to figure out what you are doing!

Most of the time it doesn't matter. The easy is the only choice!

i believe i answered the poll incorrectly. in england pants are Y-fronts etc

i think u mean trousers. but wat sort of crappy trousers have elastic round the waiste?

[Syzygy]

As long as both players aren't wearing pants, they should turn on their webcams.

Oh wait... we're talking strategy. Oops.

For that reason alone, I assumed he meant proper pants. We need clarification on this point, chinggisfan. Do you mean actual pants, or trousers? The results of the poll might be inadvertently skewed.

[chinggisfan]

I don't know what I meant, I don't wear pants or trousers or anything of the sort that prevents my soldiers from doing what they want to do.

Wow. Lots of nudists on this site.

You can obviously talk strategy throught PM's AFTER the alliance was declared. And until it is lifted.

If you want to play a team game you should be playing doubles or triples. Even though it's technically allowed to form an alliance, I think it's wrong in a standard game. You shouldn't need an alliance to win a standard game.

Generally, alliances are made between weaker players to get out of a sure lose situation. Or to weaken a very strongly leading player.
Not to win a game.

If your objective is not to win the game, then what's the point in forming an alliance?

In my opinion it is fair to have a treaty on a particular border, or in exceptional circumstances between two players completely. However, I don't think it's right to be strategising together, after all you aren't playing a team game.

All terms of your alliance should be announced in your game chat, eg which borders you are not attacking, how the treaty finishes etc. You have no obligation to say what you are planning to do otherwise, but I don't think you should co-ordinate with the player you have a treaty with.

I think discussing changes in the terms of an alliance can be done through PM, although game chat is always better... however you should announce any changes in the game chat afterwards, it's the only fair way to play.
