I am 10 years here and I've been a mod but never actually thought about one thing - is trading games - by the rules?
I understand that diplomacy in game chat is allowed, but is it allowed to cross diplomacy with another game with same players?
Example: in game 1, I offer someone to suicide on the opponent so I can win and in the response I will suicide on their opponent in game 2 and therefore help them win.
Since offers are made in game chat and everyone can see them and since the same players are in both games, I don't see the legal obstruction if it is offered in both games. It may be unsportsmanlike but... I really don't know any rule which forbids such game trading.

I would consider trading games the same as throwing games. I think that you should try to win every game. So my answer would be NO!

Crap move. Welcome to my foe list.

I think the basic idea would be- is it reasonable for someone to look at other games to find out diplomacy within a game? If diplomacy that impacts a game is being conducted in other forums, even other games, then it's outside the boundaries of the game.
People who play in games should not have to look at all other games involving themselves and other players to work out agreements. That's an unreasonable standard, and you're wrong here.
