Well this is true to an extent. Obviously I don't expect any sort of treaty I reach with someone to Last forever. But the community of players is fairly small, and if you engage in outright backstabbing all the time word will get around. People will know they can't trust you, so if they find that you're near them in a game they'll probably just make an agreement with someone they do trust to team up and wipe you out. Heck, even within a single game if you get a reputation as a jerk its possible the other players may gang up on you.

So there are definite incentives to "bad" behavior, but there are some disincentives also.
