Backstabbing is still backstabbing no matter how you legitimise it. Some players view this as a valid strategy and they can see it that way if they so desire, but when it comes down to it, the player you backstabbed is still far less likely to be trusting of you in another universe and usually tends to spread the word around to other players within that game Shocked

You'll also need to do a good job of it. Personally, I would do whatever it takes to ensure that the backstabber doesn't win from that point. 2 Guns

Now, you will see this differently, but as for me I would rather ally with someone who has pulled off a successful backstab than ally with someone who altogether refuses to backstab. Shocked

I wouldn't trust him behind my back, but I wouldn't be able to rely on a white knight no matter which way I'm facing.
Simply put, someone who understands and uses subtle trickery would be more useful to me than someone who doesn't. Plus, scoundrels are easier for me, a scoundrel myself, to understand. Twisted Evil

And if I get knifed in the process, c'est la vie, it's just business. In the end we all get what we deserve.

On the other hand, someone who *always* backstabs whether it makes any sense or not is just retarded. It's a bit like bluffing on every poker hand, it'll break you faster than anything.
