Suggesting a truce and pretending you are not

Ever experienced the "hey [player] i'm cool" innocent statement in a game?
Obviously, if you are not the targeted player, you might say that this is a truce offering.
Like I just did, I'm sure that you heard this type of player replying : "no this is not a truce, I'm just saying I'm cool, and that I won't attack".
To this I simply want to reply that this is all bullshit, if you're saying I'm cool or I'm ok or I wont attack, you are offering a truce. Period. Claim it.
Don't be surprised if other players ally against you and counter you!

There is a slight difference, in truces you are your partner fight together for better or for worse typically. This means if you get first, you will give your truce partner 2nd even if he is in a much lower position. Likewise if you are your truce partner are fighting for first, neither of you will likely flag and hang the other out to dry. These things do not typically occur when you merely have a cease fire with someone.

yeah... this all depends on the situation of the two involved... especially the one saying he is 'cool'. Often this means 'you could easily dominate me, but you can focus elsewhere because I'm no threat to you'.

Generally if the person is suggesting a full truce (fighting for each other to get the best spots possible) then they might say 'Red, are we cool'. Slight syntactical difference there, but it can say a lot.

But of course, these are still a little ambiguous.... by design. People trying to be *slightly* cryptic instead of blurting it out. Actions following it can usually tell your partner that you are fighting with him or just staying out of his way.

And... there will always be disagreements over what that line meant. If you are not sure, you should ask. If they are bitching at you at the end because they thought you owed them a better spot instead of you just leaving them alone... tell them to be more clear next time. Their loss on trying to be sly...
