secret alliance in game 221938; they know each other in real-life.
firebird71417's concentration in iraq, coupled with their refusal to attack each other, led me to accuse both of them of a secret alliance. when confronted with an ultimatum, both allied in a last-ditch effort to show "legitimacy".
[working with the two players to see their perspective, i guess. probably give them benefit of the doubt, unless it happens again.]
