Now where did you get that idea from?
Going back again at my previous experience: The boardgaming community I was talking about is obviously a lot smaller than the one here in Dominions, maybe about a dozen people. Of course making a habit of betraying people, fickleness, unsteadfastness (is that even a word?
) betrayal for little gain, etc. will get you a reputation. Of course people will remember when you come out to help them against difficult odds, and when you suddenly seem completely unable to help out because you're suddenly very, VERY busy examining the probability of the existence of alien life forms in your hankerchief or are otherwise 'pressingly' occupied. (note however that 'not actively helping out your ally seems to be a very common occurence about these parts, more common than I had experienced before, and since this doesn't violate the formulaic '3 turn NAP kthx' that is so common here, noone seems to mind that)
I never meant to imply I took alliances lightly.
A good ally/alliance is a wonderful thing.
But if someone pulls a truly game-winning betrayal out of his hat, my only reaction will be admiration (and maybe a little 'damn, why didn't I prepare for that one') and the general reaction of the gamers I knew before comming here would be the same.
