Re: alliances?
If you make an alliance in order to take another player out of the game you will receive very bad ratings for fair play and will probably find yourself mentioned in a post in GD and put on a lot of people's foe lists.
That said, alliances are not forbidden, just ask for and agree to them in the gamechat, but use them subtly. 3 rounds of ceasefire, no attacks between territories X and Y, agree to stop an arms race at a certain border etc. Those sort of things are done all the time and most people agree that it's fine, really just stating what was the best thing to do for all players involved anyway.
The line is crossed when two or more people team up to take out someone else. Do that regularly and you will find that it becomes harder and harder to find games you can join.
In terminator games you receive points for taking out other players making it easier to gain some points, in standard games you need to be the last player still alive (own the whole map, except for neutrals), which is somewhat harder to do, but the returns are also higher since you get points from all other players.
