I can assure this tactic will do the following...

1. Liven up the game.


I dunno, sounds like a game killer to me. I imagine those who just had their formerly hopeless position bettered by such an act might find this an interesting turn of events, while those who had outperformed everyone else and were winning up to that point would NOT suddenly find things more interesting. And I must say I can't imagine personally deriving satisfaction from sharing victory as the secret ally, knowing that I didn't really have a chance until it had been handed to me by someone elses betrayel. I'm inclined to believe such a game would only be more interesting henceforth to the perpetrator.

4. May lose you friends in the stars community. But these are the people who take the game way too seriously so shouldn't be worried about.


While I think I might fall into the category you just described, I don't think I take the game too seriously. The point of the game is to win. I don't join a game with the intent to only be a spoiler, I actualy want to win. Moreover, if my race proves to be superior in design, and I play it well enough to be in the winning position, I think I'm ENTITLED to the satisfaction of a win, not suddenly be the first person ejected on account of trusting the wrong person who arbitrarily decided to hand the game to a lesser deserving person just to liven things up. And so, I think if I were personally the victim of such a thing, I could never allow myself to trust the same person again in any game. After all, anyone could be betrayed once, and it says nothing about them. But if that person ever trusts the perpetrator again, he MUST be some kinda tard who doesn't learn, IMHO. I'd have a hard time respecting myself if I allowed the same person another opportunity and they backstabbed me again.

I expect my ally to be the one person I can trust. An alliance without trust is a farce. I trust allies completely, and nobody else at all. The only instance I can
