So before this occurs in any more games, I wanted to go ahead and report it. According to the chat:
2020-06-24 11:14:23 - swimmerdude99: Don't know if you had many troops, but when I took the turn, you had 1's josko
2020-06-24 11:49:50 - josko.ri: swimmerdude i spent troops to take that bonus which you took from me therefore i retaliated to you. whoever takes the new bonus from me, i will retaliate again so you cannot say that you were not warned
2020-06-24 11:53:42 - josko.ri: you were greedy to take new bonus from me therefore you lost the old one
2020-06-25 14:59:12 - swimmerdude99: Its funny that you report people for playing to win a tournament, and clearly you just suicided in a very odd fashion
2020-06-25 14:59:33 - swimmerdude99: I know you are playing to make sure someone from my tribe does not win, but don't think I'm not aware. You aren't that silly
2020-06-25 14:59:39 - swimmerdude99: You left a 1 on a bonus, who wouldn't take it?
I know in many other games I've played (usually in escalating or stacking games), I might see a territory open that is a 1 on a bonus, it seems peculiar, but in the effort to win and gain leverage, I choose to take it as its very open in a big thing to gain. In this particular game, I came to the turn, saw that a bonus josko had clearly taken the round before, was now open with 1s on them. To make sure he knew I hadn't suicided a stack or anything like that, I let him know in chat that they were 1s by the time I took my turn. His response was to attack my stack of 6 on a similar bonus putting himself down to 10 troops while the rest of us have 20+. This took me from being close to the lead to below yellow.
To me, his play is clearly not to win the game, but simply take out a competitor who poses a threat to both a tournament win, and tribe scores, as my tribe is ranked second to his. This attack pretty clearly is not aimed at winning. Especially as someone who reports others for this sort of thing, I find it very two-faced that he would do this. Destroying that many of his own troops was not in his best interest, and he is a good enough player to know that (at least from what I know of him). Even in the event that his attacking that bonus left him weak, suiciding will not make him any stronger or give him a better chance. His goal seems to be to knock out a competitor that isn't in his best interest to have wins.
Because he freely broke my bonus even when I was not leader killing 2 of my troops, but the turn later he did not break Bonus of yellow guarded by 3 troops, and yellow is leader and has the biggest deploy in the game. So swimmerdude breaks bonuses of his opponent Tribe member but he is not consistent in breaking bonuses of other players in similar circumstances even when the other player is the game leader.
