It is a very difficult problem. (sorry about leaving the follow up so long,
I've been out of the loop for a while).

Whilst it may seem silly to carry a vendeta over from one game to the next,
it is quite clear that these things do happen. The question is, what to
do about it. Refuse to play in games involving people you have played
with/against before? One of the most common solutions is to attack the
player concerned, 'cause you KNOW he'll get you if you don't. But doesn't
this justify the vendeta? I can't see any solution to this problem other
than accepting it as a fact and roleing with the punches.

Another simmilar problem currently being discused in Flagship is, 'Is
it OK to form pre-game alliances?'. Again I would think that most
people would agree that this is realy not on, but they KNOW it goes on,
so they have to do the same to survive. But then, arn't they the ones
causing the problem in the first place?

Neither is an easy problem to resolve. If anyone has any answers?
