I'd like to think that it would be made somewhat clear that they are an alliance, against other alliances, and that taking down #3 won't get them a joint win (winners CAN be from separate alliances), and the only reasonable course is to go after the top dogs.
Besides, until the game is declared over, or 3 people manage to become dominant, I doubt it will be clear who is in what exact rank. I mean obviously you can always go by province count, or number of caps, but that is not 100% indicative of true power. The best course of action in this scenario, will always be to hurt the biggest person that you can, who you are not allied with.
Obviously no matter what, there will be players who don't understand the full implications of all of this, but hell, either some of the people who supported LA Agartha in this last game did not understand that they were "kingmaking", or they did so willfully. I fail to see how increasing the potential for victory will make people behave less wisely.
