Мое мнение насчет твоего первого поста: это НРИ. Вот некоторые из причин:
1). В этой игре вообще никто не наказывает за несоблюдение договоров и не определяет, был ли соблюден договор или нет, и насколько полно он был соблюден. То есть, ты можешь вставить в договор "штрафные санкции", если хочешь, но это будут всего лишь слова. Судья вообще не будет разбираться, был ли соблюден договор - это не его дело. Единственное, что его интересует - был ли договор легальным (то есть направленным на получение большего количества VP/GW) в момент его заключения, да и это его интересует только потому, что легальность договора позволяет игроку впоследствии "нарушить" PTW.
2). Договоры бывают очень разные, в том числе не очень важные (например, "я тебе сейчас дам +1 интерцепт - ты в меня на следующем ходу сыграешь Consangineous Boon"). Подобные договоры нарушаются очень часто - например, игрока серьезно проблидили, и он вынужден сыграть Boon в себя. Если разрешить месть за нарушение КАЖДОГО договора, игра просто превратится в бардак. Если разрешить только в случае "оговоренных штрафных санкций" - каждый договор обрастет санкциями, условиями, исключениями, форс-мажорами, и для того, чтобы во всем этом разбираться, потребуются юристы

3). Каждый игрок обязан играть на выигрыш, иначе он дестабилизирует игровую ситуацию - одни игроки получают необоснованное преимущество, другие - необоснованный штраф. Например, при четырех игроках в игре если ты мстишь игроку напротив, твоя жертва получает легкий VP, а это нечестно. Хочешь отомстить в такой ситуации - заключи легальный договор со своей жертвой на раздел стола. Тогда ты получишь право хоть вынести игрока напротив - более того, это будет совершенно естественным поведением!
4). Собственно говоря, а ЗАЧЕМ нужно допускать месть, если она представляет собой неспортивное поведение? Если игрока "кинули", он обижен, и ему уже до фонаря все эти VP - это неспортивное поведение, и это нельзя поощрять. Нормальный игрок должен рассуждать примерно так: "У меня был договор, и с ним был связан мой план игры. Его нарушили, и мне нужно искать новый - желательно договориться с кем-нибудь другим. Было бы неплохо заодно отомстить предателю, но если есть лучший
план, я выберу его". В принципе, я и сам нередко выбираю не лучший план, а тот, который позволяет отомстить, но какой-то план у меня всегда должен быть. По идее

Is revenge a valid reason of violating PTW? (All 15 messages in topic)
Ector Jun 1, 11:56 am
I apologize for posting a very stupid question, but I have to post it just to make things clear for my playgroup.
Honoring a legal deal is a valid reason for "violating" PTW rule (this enables table-splitting deals and so on). If a legal deal was broken, can the "victim" violate PTW just to avenge the traitor or not? Would such behavior be legal?
Let's skip complicated situations and assume that the player is trying to perform an action that makes EVERYBODY suspect that he isn't playing to win, like rushing a cross-table player. Somebody calls the judge,
and the player openly admits that he's trying to AVENGE another player for breaking a deal. What should the judge do in this situation?
Thanks in advance,
Ector

I'm not sure what the answer to your question is. However, your play group should know that the
ultimate way to avenge such treachery is to earn the Game Win in spite of it.
Dragos Jun 1, 12:54 pm
The answer to your question: *BY THE RULES*, in this specific case, the judge should punish the avenging player.
My personal opinion: break the neck of the F%$#ING traitor

I've asked something similar a few weeks before, with just a little more emphasis on the dealbreaking and personal grudges issue.
As far as I understood from long-time judges and LSJ's responses in that thread, 'revenge' alone is not an acceptable reason for violating the PTW rule. The complications on the issue lay on determining what is indeed playing to win in that particular case. Rushing a minion cross-table is not a violation of the PTW rule per se as many players believe - it's the table situation that matters. But most of the time a player will have an acceptable reason for the rush other than mere 'revenge' - and judges can't legislate against stupid play (man, how I like this motto ;-)
Even if the double-crossed player openly admits that he's going for pure revenge, the circumstances of the broken deal could make the play reasonable - like a PTO on a key vamp when leaving it alone was part of the deal. How could torporizing the Inner Circle offender could NOT be playing to win, even cross-table?
If the judge suspect there's more involved, like a personal grudge or collusion, that's another matter. And a very difficult one to discern, I must say. Ultimately, only table analysis can offer reliable guidance in the issue - there's no "ideal formula" to sign on to.

if you still have a chance to win the game, why would you be sostupid and not try and win it.
if you have no chance to win, its up to you how you "leave" the game

And if someone breaks a deal with you and still leaves room for you to conduct any sort of effective "revenge" against them, then they made a really stupid play by breaking the deal... cf. Machiavelli's _Prince_.
If you're going to kick people in the nuts, KICK, don't just wave your foot.
In the above situation, I'd (at least temporarily) disallow the action and say "no,... play to win." Nothing like having the player outright admit that he's violating the rules to make things simple for the judge.

That said, there are certainly reasons that would make me change my ruling; Arika PTOs one of my vamps as part of a dealbreak, I'm perfectly justified in dunking and eating Arika, because I can't win with all my
vamps PTOed. Even if it's not my vamp, it's not TOO hard to make a case to dunk Arika as long as I control non-Camarilla vamps.
Sadly, the situation is never actually this cut-and-dried.

Unfortunately, most of our players aren't very experienced and they tend to overlook ways to get at least 1 VP with a clever deal. Really dead situations aren't very frequent, and if you still can *avenge* somebody, you're obviously not dead yet
What do you think about this?

Mmm is obtaining only one VP a clever deal ?
i doubt so

Take a pad. Make some notes. Go back over the situation afterwards, and discuss what different people thought should happen.
Many players will not improve (as rapidly) if they're just putting decks together and playing them. Having some sort of critical dialogue about a situation, seeing what different people's views are, seeing why they
make the decisions they do, could be useful.
Be wary of teaching people that 1VP is a "good" outcome, though. Typically, they should be playing for table-wins, not a single easy VP. If you get into the mindset of "Wow, a VP!" it can be difficult to move on. You can often build a deck which will be practically guaranteed one VP, but which won't get any further, which can halt the learning curve rather rapidly.

If your baseline is attacking for revenge and going out with zero VP, then one VP is, at least, less stupid. Certainly, it could easily be the tie-breaker that lifts you out of a mass of 0Vps into the 1, 2 or 3 VP (across multiple rounds) area that gets you into the final in a small tournament.

Well, often a deal of 1 VP for you, one for me can be very good in a tournement. Especially on a slow table, and sometimes tables can 'lock down'. the 1-1 deal can both speed up the game and get the table out of
such a lock. It's also a good way of removing decks you can't handle by yourself.

Not. (ob English: he would be avenging himself (or his honor), not the traitor).

Only if it conformed to the PTW rule.

If the activity is illegal, the judge should prevent it (correct the player and require the player to follow the rules)
