I've said it before on the forum and i'll say it again. Primary goal in stars is to have fun, second is winning.

Well, I'm not sure this is entirely accurate, because I'm not sure winning and having fun are something you prioritize on the same level like that. Every game is played to have fun, but only if everyone has a common goal to win. Having fun is indeed the "point" of the game in the first place, but would it be fun if nobody (or perhaps only one) were trying to win? I can have fun in this FORUM without trying to win, but it's not a game. In a game you have fun by trying to win. Having fun happens, but I don't see that as the primary goal. Winning is the primary goal, and fun happens along the way whether you win or not.

Quote:

Therefore you play for fun, but you'd like to win.

I disagree. Everyone plays to win, therefore having fun so long as the playing field is level. Something eliminating your ability to win that you have no chance to prevent diminishes your fun. How fun would it be in a "One World Wonder" game if your homeworld went supernova? Not much, because such an event without warning doesn't provide any challenge to the victim.

Quote:

If you set out solely to win and this opportunity arises why not grasp it if winning is so important?

The golden rule, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. I'm not religious, but I realize the wisdom of this philosophy. Without it, civilization is impossible. You want to have fun, you allow others to have fun by treating them the way you wish to be treated in return. I wouldn't assume the person you betray is having fun. He has no defense against betrayel other than not trusting you in the first place, which limits or defeats the point of the alliance in the first place.

But what IF the alliance you agreed to was the begginning of putting this plan into motion? i.e. Player C is under attack from player B. You offer player C help by performing this action on player B. Pl
