MY BELIEF 1: When 1st place is in hand, leave everyone alone. 1st place benefits far more than any other spot from the current version of flagging, so 1st place owes it to the game to show restraint and patience. I always appreciate it when 1st place lets me fight for 2 or 3 or 4, so when I get 1st I STOP (unless attacked or if there is a stalemate) so that others may enjoy the battles which are the reason we play Kdice. ---MY BELIEF 2--- Pre-game alliances (pga) ruin the game for everyone. PGAers should be called out during the game and in their reviews. Of course, we have all been guilty of accusing others of PGA too quickly, so let's have some decent evidence before crying "PGA!" But once there is a preponderence of evidence, PGAers should be stopped as best as can be done.
