I was looking in the Cheating and abuse forum.
Came across a few, secret diplomacy accusations.
Who are the people who cry cheater, cheater?
Is it the players who are being attacked, while their neighbors are ganging up on him, all the whiles not opposing each other...I believe so.
Why do you bother CC with this Malarkey!
Instead of crying, do a bit of research before you declare cheat.
Or you could try and play the game as it is.
Understanding that a silent (unspoken treaty) pact might show itself every now and again.
What you do next is sure to influence the outcome of the game.
While you are in a game you might want to act as if Secret diplomacy is legal...this way you might be able to overcome and enjoy the rest of the game.
Crying Cheater, cheater will only take you out of the game.
Don't you love having a neighbor who shares a common understanding.
I hate it when you have a neighbor who has been docile for 11 or more turns and all of a sudden asks if you want to have a treaty, why not leave well enough alone, bringing it out in the open could be harmful.
For such a simple non important game (such as risk), sure is a lot of players who like to cry foul.
Play the game any way your opponent brings it! Enjoy the satisfaction of destroying him.
I am certain that cheaters do not feel the same euphoria that a honorable player feels with each victory.
Many other discrepancies can occur while playing this game.
Learn to use them to your advantage, all is fair.
Crying cheat, foul, not fair is not going to help you be a better player...it might make you feel like a pro, at best.
