Re: known backstabbers
A few decades ago, when boardgames were the only way to do multiplayer anything, there was this notion in some circles that games should be independant of each other.
In other words, it was thought best not to let the legacy of any game carry over to the next. Without that principle, it was impossible for players to experiment with different levels of reliability (as an ally).
I subscribe to that idea. If a backstab, even if perfectly legal in the context of the game, is going to wind up haunting you forever than you're not ever going to do it. There's one aspect of multiplayer gameplay down the drain.
Just my 2c. The list that this thread was intended to compile WOULD be used as a black-list, and that would be a Bad Thing IMHO.
