could not find any stratigytips on this. but general rule is talk, at least when talked to.
if you are planning to fight for second, tell it to the leader. scenario : three players at A:12, B:8 and C:9 fullstacked terretories. leader has a good lead, but aren't usually that comfortable. player B says, I am going to flag, going for second. player C is silent. (but planning on fighting for 2nd) most cases leader will attack player C to preemptive strike him, instead of letting him fight for second. PART 2: whenever you are flagging, tellit in the chat: PLAYER: flagging for 3rd. do this for two reasons; people are often more concerned with keeping an eye on the chat than the acctual place the flag comes up. second reason; there will often be a lagg in the system preventing the flag to go through, I once had to press the flagbutton 5 times before it wnt through it is easy to just flag and then assume it goes through. |

at 8:26 AM, Monday March 10, 2008 EDT Actually talking is a very important part of the game.
It is not needed to base you're entire strategy on it but a minimal activity on the chat is vital. Not everyone is able to write fluently in english but the basics should be enough to make your plans clear (if you want them to be clear of course) how often have i not encountered people that never respond to me in the chat and when they get killed by me 10 rounds later, simply type "why me" or "asshole" afterwards. You just have to understand that radio silence is usually understood as dangerous and I too don't respond well to silence : better be safe than sorry. |

at 8:45 AM, Thursday May 29, 2008 EDT thanks for that mr kreuzfield - good advice!
however, there have been a few times when i have been in a roughly equal position to someone else, and offered them a truce, when instead of replying, they just attack me. any ideas? |

at 5:39 AM, Friday August 1, 2008 EDT maybe he decided to play for 2nd, (i assume you where tied for 2nd) or maybe he already had a silent truce, or maybe he where just not reading the chat....

at 1:31 PM, Friday August 15, 2008 EDT i haven't been playing long, or at higher rated tables, but it seems like when i offer truce to one player later in the game (me being towards the top) the other players outside that treaty will all band against me. it seems like a valid strategy on their part, but is there any way i can avoid this? perhaps picking different allies?

at 4:01 PM, Friday August 15, 2008 EDT It called counter-trucing, and the only defense is to not truce or to truce with someone and know you'll definetly win.

at 9:28 AM, Tuesday August 19, 2008 EDT another defence is to make a silent truce, show him you will play with him by a moove (like moving away your bigstack from him), and wait for him to respond with a moove, if he does, and you see he has skill, you most likely have a silent truce.
