Accused:

zombiewulf
keeper16



The accused are suspected of:

Being Multis
Conducting Secret Diplomacy



Game number(s):

Game 3503019



Comments: the two own huge chunks of bonus, and theyre right next to each other, while me and yellow are pretty weak. red (zombiewulf), deploys on some random terr and attacks me, when im no threat to him whatsoever, since i have no terrs close to him at all, while green (keeper16) is right NEXT to him.

they have units next to each other to protect their own terrs, yes, but that might mean they arent multis, just doing secret diplomacy.

This is just a normal strategy, in a position with two game leaders that border each other, and you being one of them you can do either of the following:

1. Deploy against each other and focus your main efforts on defeating the other opponent head on.
a. This method relies on moderate dice, one bad dice roll and the opponent has a much higher chance of being the victor in the head on conflict.
b. This is assuming you think you will come out stronger, if it is really not certain, better to not make yourself too huge of an immediate threat.

2. Deploy away from the opponent and trust that your expansion will go at a faster rate than the other's thus making you stronger for when you do have to revert to step 1.
a. This avoids wasting all of those large piles of men, if they were to attack each other, then would no doubt face serious losses for their own troops, possibly allowing another to go ahead of both of them.

Just my view of things. This is a general way of describing these strategies since every situation is different and will not fall entirely, or possibly into this rule at all, but I am just saying that a head on conflict damages both players, and that it may easily be that a mutual agreement not to waste the 64 troops on their borders is not exactly secret diplomacy, rather working for the common good.

This also happen to be their first game played together so far. Additionally, yellow has also attacked you numerous times. Checking the game logs, they appear to be playing their own strategies and you may just happen to be in places at the wrong time. Even if you are not a threat, that does not automatically dictate that you should not be attacked. Anyway, it really depends on how you see it so feel free to leave ratings for them if you think they had some secret diplomacy to eliminate you. But for now, they are cleared.
