I've just recently started playing tourneys and did a lot of reading in the forums before i did start. One of the things I came across, was the suggestion that diplomacy in tournaments is frowned upon (still not a rule violation though).

I am aware from thousands of games regularly, that diplomacy is rampant, but again often frowned upon when the game gets down to 3 players. In fact many existing truces even choose to end their truces when it gets down to 3 players.

It would stand to reason then, that to make a truce in a three player game (thee teams same thing) in a tournament would be very frowned upon and widely avoided by players.

Since my games have only 3 teams (due to the defaulted team) and since two of these teams agreed to a truce in round 2 of one of our games, and since the players involved are experienced, i'm wondering if it's me who misunderstands the definition of classless and honorable play. Are there opinions out there on this?

I realize in the game in question, it is a "partial truces" or "border truce" but I don't really see the difference. When two of three teams agree to take a classless advantage it pretty well determines the third place team by way of a gang-up and players generally are very "soft" on players they have "partial truces" with; for very obvious reasons.
