Get with the program. Don't mean to be rude, but this will never happen, as long as ther is chat. Get rid of chat, then you have no social interaction, then there is a lack of enjoyment with the game, and a large portion of the multiplayer aspect would be wiped out.

Even without chat, players will ally. Its easy to do with friends over IM's or even silently without even having to speak with other players.

yeah i once killed a swan and had a shit on it

NO - keep allies. It adds another dimension to the tactics, which is the beauty of multiplayer. Sure it doesn't always seem fair, but neither are the dice

Just wanna urge all to go against an alliance as alot of KooL playa's already does. Ofcourse some cases the alliance comes to late in the game when there is 3 left or so. And making a dirrect agreed alliance is a bit lame. But the thing i hate most is that some people always try to get alliance with 1st place hoping to get 2nd. Instead of just try to stand on there own feet. I guess alot of the people out there is the type of guys who runs to get there brothers help as soon as there is the slightest adversity in the air. I only make alliances when others do. All respect to the people playing by the warrior code!!!

A couter-alliance is an alliance also ...

Diplomacy is part of the game, said Ryan.
