How about in a Doubles/Triples/Quadruples game.. are you allowed to scheme with your teammate(s) outside of game chat? I'm thinking about joining a public team game with a real-life friend.

are you seriously asking if you are allowed to communicate privately with your other team member in a dubs/quads/trips game? sigh...-0

It wouldn't be cheating if you announced it right away in game chat though, right?

[JBlombier]

As NS said, it's Secret Diplomacy before the game even started. The player joins without knowing he'll be hit by the other two players, which is unfair.

Yes I'm seriously asking that since it's never covered in the Instructions or Rules sections and "secret diplomacy" is explicitly forbidden.

How about you drop the elitism and just answer a question?

Huh? What are you talking about?

Any form of diplomatic discussion between opponents must be posted in the game chat in English or in a language that all opponents understand. Diplomacy includes, but is not limited to: proposing truces, negotiating alliances, and coordinating assaults. Secret diplomacy can be hard to prove, but if you suspect it you should leave the players in question appropriate ratings. If you feel certain about players engaging in secret diplomacy consider reporting them in the Cheating & Abuse Reports forum by posting a new topic.

Things are there for a reason, although common sense can get you far enough.

[Tanagon]

In response to your question, if you want to team up against another player in a Terminator/Standard/Assassin Match, and you publicly state "Want to have an alliance Orange" or whatever and he says yes, then yes you can work together.

[Kotaro]

In response to your question, if you want to team up against another player in a Terminator/Standard/Assassin Match, and you publicly state "Want to have an alliance Orange" or whatever and he says yes, then yes you can work together.

But not outside of Game chat. If the game style makes it so that you and the player you are making an alliance with cannot both win, it must be in Game Chat.

HOWEVER, if they are your partner, than anywhere you wish to discuss (Live Chat, Walls, PM's, MSN, whatever), you can.

This post is foolish.

[Timminz]

This post is foolish.

It's ok. You're "Stijl" new.

[Mr Changsha]

To continue the foolishness...

If Owenshooter, freddieparrot and I start a 3 man game and I say (on round 1)

"Hey freddie, let's kill that owenshooter off quick and then go at it 1vs1..yah boo sucks to you owen!"

and freddie says

"Cool." (he doesn't tend to say more than he needs to)

I don't think any rules would have been broken, no?

The alliance would be far from secret. However, if owen could prove we had organised it BEFORE the game had begun then he'd have us bang to rights, lock 'em up and throw away the key etc etc.

Have I got that right?

Yes. However, if you were seen to be doing the same thing, with the same "partner" over-and-over again, You wouldn't be smelling of roses for much longer.
