4-player games tourney with round limits
I am currently tied with another player who is in position to win a game currently underway and thus put him ahead of me in the tourney. I stand no chance of winning this particular game because of round limits - my troops count is too low.
I am however in a position to make him lose and allow another player to win. By doing so, we will become embroiled in a 3-way tie for the tourney overall. My question is: Is making another player lose in order to stop him from getting ahead of me in the tourney an accepted strategy?
Any input appreciated, questions are also welcome. Thanks, DVD
