Don't talk to your partner!
With the odd exceptional exception (you know who you are!) a non responsive team-mate is a doubt filled goblet of wine from a vineyard on the west facing slope of mount failure.

I had a guy who never talked, we dominated, he knew what to do without me telling him and I knew what he wanted to have done. It was creepy. Wish it was a woman... 
I think he said gg or something at the end. We probably should have become a permanent doubles team. Oh well, missed opportunities...
PS: And I shouldn't chat on the forums after drinking, I have made the weirdest errors in my posts tonight.

Is this a life philosophy or only applicable to CC?

And you certainly know what you are doing Fitz.
i would of course much rather have a couple of no talkers who know how to play than a couple of gibberrish talkers who don't (i at least in part fall into the latter category) And communication is not just about typing, i play regularly with a silent communicator who exudes team-work and skill. you know he'll fort you where you need it.. attack the right spot and sit when you need cover; through experience you know he can be rellied upon.
But you can be there, expecting a fine and harmonious tussel, wind beneath you (pardon me) partner at your side, only to find that you have a no talker. this is not a rank thing.. hehe i have been ignored by every echelon.
This guy could be a genius for all you know.. the strategy could be the finest since gandhi decided to fight fire with a kiss but how can you tell? if it is a stategy cunning enough to be hidden from the enemy perhaps it is hidden to all.

The problem with non responsive partners is that u are never sure they will do as u ask when u fort them. Are they reliable or not. I'd sooner have a partner who told me he intends doing different things. at least that way you know not to trust them and can plan accordingly
Nothing worse than leaving a border entirely open knowing your partner goes before the player threatening the border - and then he fails to defend it! At least if u knew that was gonna happen u would move armies from another position to defend the border.

Er - you only have to fight them if you're being a multi... methinks someone needs to refer this to the Cheating forum?

Give the poor guy a break, he's still a new recruit and since he can't join team games, probably has no clues how it is played.
Dragon, team games ( doubles, triples ) are won even if your partner is still on the board. Attacking your team in team games is VERY stupid, unless very specific reasons.
