Post-mortem went something like the following.

Me blue, Dawngreeter green, Badluck purple, 1 or 2 territories. Green is winning/level with me. Orange is her ally with 4 territories, but I purusade him to switch sides with an offer of 2nd place.

I have removed Orange's name to protect the turncoat.

[...mention that Dawngreeter had trusted an alliance with orange...]
Dawngreeter: Not gonan happen again, that much I can say
Dawngreeter: IT really made no difference where I got my territories
Dawngreeter: Could of fought you instead of red and teal
bad luck: again?
Orange: you had bad luck against blue otherwise I wouldve supported u ofcourse
Pegasus: yeah it was the dice that did it
Dawngreeter: I'm out, gotta study
Dawngreeter: good game, and so forth
Pegasus: 2028 I will stop for a bit
MikeHunt: strategy?
Albert Hendriks: sorry :/
bad luck: gg
Pegasus: last time I got over 2000, I can 7th the next 4 in a row
Pegasus: Dawn's strategy was good, she deserved 2nd if not to win
Pegasus: she? dunno, but sounds right with dawn
geocon is here
Dawngreeter has left
bad luck: yes i wouldve taken out albert first
Pegasus: dangerous having albert able to cut her in half in one move
Orange: no, i had big piles and if he beat blue then he would win, really
Pegasus: but if she had spent the time doing that I may have been bigger anyway
Orange: indeed
bad luck: yes but waiting to the end to pile on was weak
Orange: if he'd attack me I'd cut him in half immediately
MikeHunt: me too
MikeHunt: even if I lose, turncoats should be punished
Orange: c'mon, it's part of the strategy
bad luck: and vultures
Pegasus: sure, but punish enemies first, turncoats second
geocon is here
bad luck: yes, but some play deserves more respect than others
Pegasus: and turncoats not at all if they are turning to you
Abby is here
Pegasus: I offered albert 2nd, so I stuck to it
bad luck: not me, i'd rather give 2nd to someone who put up a good fight than someone who pussied around all game
MikeHunt: i would have killed the turncoat and let bad luck go second
bad luck: or dawn
Pegasus: Thing is Orange was 3rd at worst already, so I had to offer 2nd
Orange: I was surrendered by green and I put myself in a tactical position to make the best out of it
bad luck: but whatever, you win, you do it your way
MikeHunt: yup
Orange: I mean surrounded
MikeHunt: good game anyway
Pegasus: somebody should start another etiguette thread about this


So anyway, etiquette questions...

Was it wrong of orange to accept my offer of 2nd place? (I don't think so) Was it wrong of me to offer it? - of course not, I might have lost without it.

Should I have given green 3rd ahead of purple? - for a much better game? But I relied on purple to stay on my side. Green kept attacking purple. Surely loyalty comes before crediting worthy opponents?
