I get the impression that the whole thing about Orange posting on Pink's wall was not actually true. Orange never responded in the chat, and from the record there was never any truce as far as I could see. It looks like Pink actually just recently eliminated Orange. I play with Team 3 regularly, and it's the kind of thing they would do to try to throw some people off early game. Maybe it's poor gamesmanship, but It's not secret diplomacy. It's just table talk.
But it is quite clear that Team 1 and Team 2 completely vacated their walls in order to simultaneously suicide into Team 3 this last round. And it is odd that they would do so in such a coordinated way without any mention of it in chat.
It is possible that Team 1 and Team 2 both decided at the same time that Team 3 needed to be eliminated, and would work to that end, but would they really both abandon their defenses without discussion, on the same round, unless there was some kind of hidden agreement of when they would attack each other. I mean, Green didn't break Blue's bonuses last turn, even though he could have and still suicided into Pink in South America.
