To continue the foolishness...

If Owenshooter, freddieparrot and I start a 3 man game and I say (on round 1)

"Hey freddie, let's kill that owenshooter off quick and then go at it 1vs1..yah boo sucks to you owen!"

and freddie says

"Cool." (he doesn't tend to say more than he needs to)

I don't think any rules would have been broken, no?

The alliance would be far from secret. However, if owen could prove we had organised it BEFORE the game had begun then he'd have us bang to rights, lock 'em up and throw away the key etc etc.

Have I got that right?

The real trick here is for freddie to say "cool" and not commit to any part of the alliance. Make an obligatory attack or two against owen but let you do the majority of the work. Then he cuts your throat and wins the game.

If an alliance is planned outside of the game, especially before the game begins, it is a secret alliance. Announcing it in game chat doesn't change anything because it was pre-planned as an alliance. KA will draw and quarter you if you attempt this.

I know what you meant. I was just making a play on a post stating "this post is foolish." It's kind of a self-fulfilling thing.
