Tell me experienced Dom2 guy:
Am I a 'good player' if me and 4 buddies decide we're going to take out playerX before any of us have contact with him/her?

That means that you're good at diplomacy, which is the single most important part of the game.

And when we do so.. is playerX a poor player if he/she calls us on it?

No. A player who complains about in-game alliances is whining however when there are no pre-game rules about alliances.

This particular game has been a negative experience for me.

I don't see why it's a negative experience. In any given Dom2 game, only 1 out of the 17 people will win. As such, you shouldn't expect to win more than 1/17 games at the most, and losing early simply means that you can move on to more games.

So far, it looks like more than one player are under the impression that Ermor is not defeatable 1v1, so alliances are mandated, what other nations have that stigma?

It's not that people think that Ermor can't be defeated, it's that Ermor permanently depopulates the provinces. People attack them because they want to keep you bottled up in a few provinces for as long as possible.

Also the diplo... what is the accepted standard?

Make alliances with whoever you want, whenever you want.
