This reminds me of my roommate named Craig back in college. In our first game of Risk, Craig made a deal with someone (whom I can no longer remember). Some time later, that other person broke the alliance unannounced. Craig then made a quick temporary alliance with every other person in the game and proceeded to shuffle every army he had to the front with the truce-breaker. He then crashed everything he had in a glorius battle against the guy. Both my roommate and the truce-breaker were quickly eliminated from the game, needless to say.

And then, it got even worse. The very next game, Craig did the same thing to the truce-breaker. Craig attacked the guy exclusively until they were both gone yet again. Afterwards, Craig asked if he learned his lesson. The truce-breaker agreed that he surely did. In fact, we all did. No one ever broke a truce with Craig after that. We got good at it, for you could make a temporary truce, saying for example, we will not attack each other until X occurs or Y turns. Or give a three turn notice to ending the truce. All this was perfectly acceptable to Craig, as long as you were true to your word.

Anyway, it is amazing that I still remember that Risk game from so long ago but it sure stuck with me through the years.

You'd be amazed at what you can remember over the years.
I still regret thrashing my cool police car toy back when I was ~ 3-5 (you usually don't remember how old you are in those cases =P).
Basically, I wouldn't go to the extent of thrashing the other guy in the second game, but I would go through a lot of trouble to revenge a truce-breaker.
