Re: A novice question about MP.
One thing I've learned from competetive online games (MMOs and Strategy games in particular) is to treat everyone around you as a potential enemy, and expect to be betrayed. Don't be afraid to network and use diplomacy, but always have a backup plan in case someone tries to stab you in the back. So, if you do agree to a NAP, don't leave yourself entirely open to unexpected aggression from the person you've entered a pact with. If they uphold the NAP, all the better for you both - but if they don't uphold it, atleast you won't be caught with your pants down.
Always be wary of the teeth behind the smiles.
