Reagrding a third Pact Mate

[Jamski]

I posted this on the Embassy :

I anticipate the game will solidify into a "pact of 2" vs a "pact of 3" The question is, assuming that we want to be part of the "pact of 3" is who shall we take as the third team? CyCon are friendly, but may be attached to the Uni, Uni is a nono I guess, and the Pirates are pacted already - but possibly not to be trusted.

Comments?

In addition can anyone give a reason why it would be better to be part of the "pact of 2" than the "pact of 3" ?

Because we're currently the most powerful faction in the game, and if we pact with a 3rd faction for real then the rest of the game will be a cake walk. Buster commented the same.

Cycon would be my choice of a third pact mate. However we'll have to talk about it to the drones as it's very important if we're changing our victory goals.

[Jamski]

We MAY be the most powerful now, but we don't really want to be in the situation where its 3 vs 2, and we are in the 2, do we?

Especially as if the Uni and Cycon trade techs + pirates bases everywhere = raped by high tech noodles and coopters from all sides and DEAD.

A third pactmate should be a tool for ourselves and the Drones to achieve victory; I do not believe that a chance in victory conditions will be necessary for us to enter into a non-permanent pact with a third party. The permipact with the Drones itself has been a compromise for our two factions in order to increase our chances for success, it seems unnecessary that we need to compromise anymore than we have.

I agree with the chairman. We should not tie ourselves down to a third pact-mate. I am all for signing a third pact (which we have), but it must be in the understanding it will be betrayed. As Voltaire said, it should be a tool, we have compromised enough.

Looks to me the Drone's are thinking in the same line as us. We are too powerful to have to depend on a 3 way pact for a win. But a non perm pact with CC would be good for everyone.

/me starts to weep for the future fall of a dear pact brother.

Or sister, whoever is leading the faction.

Well the other factions live in such a patriarchal culture all their leaders, and their leading politicians, administrators, and all other important jobs are headed by men.

Just saw something interesting in the TV. We could follow the Marian's culture. When we get the faction with B and one other victim, we could let them do a match game. Each of them are assigned "evil" or "good" randomly without them knowing it. Then if the good wins the game, they get to live. If the evil wins the game, then the evil gets to be eliminated. This supposely will bring good fortune to everybody.

Question: What would you do in such a match?
