Comments: The game was an assassin game in the Play Small Feudal Lords TPA tournament.. http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=143283 It was the 2nd round, the 1st round was 1v1, winner advances to this type of game.
The first 5 or 6 rounds of the game went as a usual assassin game on the Feudal map. I had green as my target, which means it is clear that red has blue, and blue has red. I made some aggressive moves and found blue, so I held off and took a different direction from my other castle, and found my target in Great Kingdom. I killed him off easily, and then built while blue took out my other castle at Imperial Dynasty. Since I had Realm of Might and now TGK, I was able to sacrifice losing that 3rd castle. I read the log and seen that green had made considerable territory gain, which meant he was in the Feudal Empire Castle and the Northern Plains. I built up for 2 rounds, then opened the TGK 5 door. There was his stack of 32 sitting pretty. Now he had been removed from TGK 2 rounds earlier, yet his stack was sitting at the border. I was not his target, and he knew I took TGK from him, so why wouldn't he move his troops back to Feudal to take out Blue in Rebel Castle and Barbarian Castle? Blue was his target.
After taking down his stack, on his next turn, he decided to deploy again on the border between him and I and then attack me. Now, I understand this could be a stop-gap from me advancing on him, but he had 8 more terrs. than me, and he was outdeploying me. Blue had taken my Imperial Castle 2 rounds earlier, and was moving fast to ROM, and then TGK. The entire 3 rounds of this, green only hit me, thus leaving his target to reap the benefit of eliminating me without a fight.
This is the problem with the Secret Diplomacy label. I am cannot say for sure that it was, because I have no evidence of it from blue being involved. What I do have is Green saying in round 9 of the game, that he didn't know it was an assassin game, and blamed it on a brainfart...I find that hard to believe. Round 9, Assassin game, and he all of sudden realizes his target was blue not me???? I stated I would be posting this, even if it is cleared, which I assume it will be, it still at least is documented for the future, since these two opponents of mine are low game number players!
