20 round game 4 player 1 eliminated

I am in the lead

2 turn truce, truce over

1 player attacks me and stacks against me I respond and push them back That opponent states I screwed up Good with that to a point but it basically tells the other player I have no stack left.

he then tells the other player a route to go to attack me.

but didnt bother telling me that the other player had a stack to finish me

to finish I was a low rank player against much higher ranks so these 2 high ranks basically tag teamed me so either one of them could win.

admittedly I am a whinner but have made efforts to improve on this a great deal.

simple question am I whining in this case or is this a case of higher level players ensuring they dont lose so as not to give up as many points

persponallly I think its tacky in fog to call out a route to other people or reveal troop counts-- though I don't think in other fog games that its wrong to post gerearl commens "like" player 1 has as many terts and deploys as the rest of us , can we all attack him 10 troops worth this round? but there may not be a mathematic or symbolic logic way of saying exactly why these are different

I think it's fine to reveal anything in a fog game.

Fog or not, some high rank players target low rank players first to limit point loss. Can be annoying but that's just how it goes sometimes.

I don't think what they did here was bad, calling out a path or a plan of attack sucks if you're the recipient but it is what it is. I draw the line at directly calling out troop counts and locations in a fog game. That's foe-worthy to me, it's fog for a reason. If I wanted everyone to see what I had, I wouldn't play fog and I don't expect/want to know what someone else has. That said, I've lied and been lied to so there is the fact that you can't always believe what a player says. As for the team up, I would think the higher ranked players would always target a lower ranked player first in a scenario like that. Although there are people here who would call that "game throwing" so, whatever.
