It was a 6 player game, no previous history between the players. I took Asia and tried to ally with Russia but was refused. I had implimented something roughly equating to the Star layout, but didn't much fancy going it alone, esp since N and S America would probably ally.
Africa accepted.
We agreed on our tactics, smashed Russia (with the help of EU) and then gave EU a bit of a kicking. North America had been nuked badly by EU, as it seemed a DEMO user with little prior play was at the controls. S America was way too timid and very slow on the agression.
So... taking a step back... I had 80% of my nukes, Africa (allied) had about 35%, EU about 15%, NA and Russia out of equation.
Africa decided to launch on S America. It's worth noting that SA had a very strong six silo defense setup on the east coast, so they blocked most of it. The second Africa launched (all from Silo) I opened up my subs just off India and about half my far side silos.
In short, a backstab that won me the game. S America didn't have enough kills to carry it home.
The very second I launched my first nuke, Africa began swamping the chat screen. At first it was the usual "dude, are them nukes for me?" "wtf!" etc etc. But then as more and more of the nukes hit home he became more and more agressive, resorting to constant swearing.
In the end I didn't say anything and just launched more bombers
but I was surprised at how rude he was going to be on a public stream.
Most people, myself included, will still say "gg" even after a terrible, bloodthirsty backstab. Hey, that's what makes the game fun, right?
Obviously no names mentioned, and I know some people are odd, but it's the first time I've ever had DEFCON-rage.
