As to the questions drawing a parallel between behavior in SEIV and Poker or Chess, they're apples and oranges.  In Poker I hope that everyone at the table knows that they're my opponent.  They know up front not to trust me so I'm not lying to them if I bluff.  I haven't promissed them anything, we haven't entered into any sort of agreement, so I can't possibly take advantage of them like a player can in SEIV when they screw over an ally.  In Chess the other player knows I'm the enemy.  How can I possibly deceive them?

 I think I clarified that I don't like playing games where team victory is a valid result. Does that not mean that ultimatly everybody in the game is your opponent? Even if you are temporarily playing as allies?
