If there are more than two teams of players it's perfectly natural for teams to agree to focus on the team that is a bigger threat to them, and unless the game creator specified that this was not allowed it's very childish to get salty about it. A game with more than two teams is a "team free for all" as in each team looks out for their best interest, which may include forming alliances and NAPs.

@davidian the person who's played 25 games of warlight is going to lecture me on how warlight is normally played? You claim we have no experience? Also we don't self admit to being trolls because we aren't

Oh, when will people understand that this is one of those topics which needs to be, you know, discussed?
Some people want a gameplay style where alliances and non-aggression pacts are part of the changing strategic landscape.
Some people want a "clean" game which is purely strategic.
Both are correct.
You just need to talk to the people you're playing with and get on the same page.
The best way, if you don't know? Ask.
I'm playing in a 3-team game right now, and we're organizing an alliance against the third team. I've asked the third team if they're OK with this, for the sake of making the game more interesting. Why not?
If you're setting up a game, you might want to specify your preference, as well. It makes a big difference - those are almost two entirely different types of games.

1. I'd like to point out that not one of the many well-used templates out there are for FFAs, if there was such a thing there'd be a ladder for it ('cause that's how everything works round here).
2. There was a 40 player FFA on edgeless square recently, nobody gave a speck of shit about people making alliances.
3. I thought you were going to make reference to the uservoice for peace treaty cards.

Anyway why was vote not offered (and accepted) if boots happenned at turn 0 ? Or wasnt it at turn 0 ?
And alliances should not be allowed and regarded as cheats in FFA (or team games of more than 2 teams) unless clearly specified in the description. Otherwise it is just as unfair as a player having a secret alt in the FFA game. But thats just my 2c ;).

In this case it was a special edition game created to celebrate Patriot's Day so it wouldn't be right to end by vote. But even if it was a normal game I don't think vote to end is a good idea just cause someone got booted. It's not fair to the players that want to play and who take their turns in time

Well in true bozo fashion I challenged Davidian to a 3 vs 3. With Queefballs, Jamrod, and I vs. Davidian and two open seats (pre reqs on for people above level 13 and boot% below 20) with 3 day boots because he said we can't win a game without booting. Davidian declined so he is a wuss. The End. We Win. BOOM
