Puke, I just don't know
who you might be talking about. (snicker, snicker)
Seriously though. I think most PBW games eventually get around to being just as bloodthristy. It's just a matter of time. You don't shoot first and ask questions later against a human player (usually anyway, lol).
You can be as aggressive as you want against the ai, and they simply can't take advantage of weaknesses the way a human player might. Against the AI, you can take chances, and leave places undefended, he's not going to counter attack effectively and turn the table on you like a human might.
Give it time, and some more games. I think you will find multi-player very ruthless.
But do me a favor, when you do meet a player that is mean enough for you, keep it in the game. There's nothing that can ruin a game faster than bringing hurt feelings in from a previous game.
I agree with Puke, being a backstabber all the time can get you a bad rep, but it's fun every once in a while.
