William MacMustapha MondGame 4036280This game is an Assassin game. The offending players have logged 2,000 and 4,000 games respectively. If these were noobs, I would assume they simply didn't understand what an assassin game was, but since they are clearly not new - this is evidence of cheating. Neither player has attacked anyone except me - and unless there is a glitch, I am not the target of both of these players.
Round 1Mustapha Mond attacks
you. At the beginning of the game he held Kienholz 1 property out of the 4 property bonus and 2 properties right outside to reinforce a move for that bonus. (Kadinsky & Kline).
Explanation:He attacked Smith and reinforced there to give it a 2/2 split for that bonus. Whether he has you as a target is null and void, some times in assassin games you can make moves to attack non-targets to achieve a bonus. Thus, if this is his strategy it can be conceivable with the facts that I just presented above. Especially at the beginning of the game.
On your turn you did this:
you deploy on one of those 2 regions you had in that 2/2 split bonus that I referred to above (Modigliani) and conquered the property he took from you back.
Explanation:Whatever your strategy may have been at this point, either trying to claim that bonus yourself or go after
Mustapha Mond which is your target doesnt matter.
I can tell from the looks of it based on you using 2 properties attacking the property that he took from you (Smith) and the lack of a reinforcement to either of those properties on your part that you used a lot of your troops on those 2 properties to take over (Smith).
Long story short being that you left that area an easy bonus to claim with the right dice and all attacks on any properties there is null and void for calling him out on attacking a non target.
The other accused on his first turn did this:
William Mac deployed and conquered 2 of
your properties.
Explanation:Based on where he attacked you at and the fact that in a 3 player assassin game you should start off knowing who has who, he came to the conclusion that he needed to hit you there before he was wiped out of that area by
Mustapha Mond (his assassin). Which is
very very sound strategy.
If he doesnt attack you there now and
Mustapha Mond (his assassin) conquers that property that he occupied (Baudrillard) he stands the risk of being cut off and using a lot of troops to get back there to get you later. His actions are accountable and sound.
Round 2Mustapha Mond attacks
you in the 3 areas that you left weak to gain that bonus/hit your target. As I said before its round 2, there is little need for him to worry about protecting you just yet, and with you leaving a bonus an easy claim for him and his target
William Mac with a slight edge in the strength category this will be a good thing for both of you.
Its not hard to tell at this point that
you have
Mustapha Mond as a target,
Mustapha Mond has
William Mac as target and he has
you.
If
William Mac is too strong he eliminates
you and wins the game but if
Mustapha Mond can have enough strength to keep him honest then you have a chance to come out ahead.
There is no collusion here, there is no case for an alliance or multi, you have to realize everyone's strategy is different, and that its not always a
big no no to attack a non threat in an assassin game.
I am willing to bet this gets thrown out.
Good Luck with your game.
