Strategy or something else?

Alright. I have a quick question, this is kind of in strategy and cheating and abuse at the same time, though.

I have just played a game (3 player), where at the time of my elimination in round 7, there were 18 attacks against me, and 4 attacks between the other two players against each other. I was never the leader, and attacked the others only out of necessity, seeing as I was trying to get them to focus away from my areas.

Anyways, my question is whether this could hypothetically be strategically justified, or if such a serious lean toward one player being targeted is something else.

I'd give it a 50/50 either way as it's completely dependent on game type and situation. However, when in doubt, report it.

i thought it was only report if you are sure
and if you were the highest ranking player that would justify it

Highest ranking player indeed, that I am down 500 points, lol. And I am not planning on reporting it, I would say 80% of the time my drop placed me kind of in the way of both players, and the other few times they attacked me... I can't say since it was a fog game.

Was just wondering what people thought about such situations.

This is simply the nature of 3-man. Learn how to be the best diplomat, or give up on 3-man. It is in my opinion, a Fools game. ;)
