Yeah, I agree with Dedas too. Problems arise when people take things too seriously. And I also agree with Velusion, although personally I'd find it quite hard to break a pact. Probably why I always sucked at the Diplomacy board game!

When I was hanging around with fairly active board gamers -- playing games like Diplomacy or Empires in Arms -- it was generally accepted that baring your throat, even to a nominal ally, was fatal if it was clearly advantageous for the other. Diplomacy was most reliable when coordinating the violent dismantling of third parties to the obvious advantage of both.
